Antique tool

 A "Record" curved sole spokeshave that was my grandfather's - cleaned and repainted in the authentic Record Tools blue.

This type of tool was, as the name implies, originally for making wooden spokes for wagon and other wheels by hand - nowadays they're used for a variety of wood-shaping functions (they come in both curved and flat sole versions)

Have to admit I'm unlikely to use it . . . . we'll see.    At the moment I'm using it as a paperweight on my desk!
