Shaving Horse Build May 6, 2021 The completed shaving horse. I had a large black walnut fall in my yard, so I wanted to create some spoons from the Greenwood. I needed a shaving horse to hold the limbs for the carving work, hence this project. In a nutshell, you site on one side and push against the bottom bar to hold the work piece. The top where the work piece goes has a sheet of leather to keep the wood from moving around. Here's the complete project.Holes are drilled to fit the adjustable arms.A view of the base in assembly.The block is used as a wedge.Each leg has a recessed mortise to fit the cross bar.Here's what the underside of a leg looks like, attached. A finished leg.The mortise set-up.Each leg, assembled.Cutting the cheeks.The hardest part was probably getting the feet angle correct.Planing with the #7.Preparing the stock.A lot of sawing...The start point.
