[TheForge] swedish wooden shoe spoon auger

[terry l. ridder]

hello bruce;

yes, a scorp would work.

not exactly what was shown in the old vintage swedish video but it would

I have many spokeshaves and drawknives.

be easy enough to make a crude scorp.
making a fine woodworking tool like woodcraft sells would take longer.

i received from a fellow in the netherlands the below url.
