I have always liked making my own tools, maybe because I’m cheep. But I also know for precision tools it is cheaper to pay up front for a quality tool. With that being said this is a good little tool.
The handles are made of bodark. I used a piece of alltread through the middle and a couple of conchos for the end.
This is a very good tool with some pressure you can take the wood down fairly fast. But with light pressure you can smooth it out so that it takes very little sanding.

Yes I noticed everyone else putting their shave up and decided to do the same.
As for its uses it is almost like a rasp but it doesn’t tear the grain like a rasp does. It is great for round pieces like canes or walking sticks.
