Members steadybrook Posted June 21, 2014 Members Report Posted June 21, 2014 Can you send me a few closer pictures @ steadybrook@eastlink.ca
Members steadybrook Posted June 21, 2014 Members Report Posted June 21, 2014 Thanks for the pictures, I am not familiar with these shaves .What is the actual radius of the curve, and does the removed handle come with the set?
Members mworthan Posted June 21, 2014 Author Members Report Posted June 21, 2014 Not sure of the radius. These are used for shaping the ground seat. The handles don't remove. It was cut off so you can get to the tight areas around the cantle ears and base of the ground seat where it joins the cantle. Bob Douglas sells them on the she rid an leather site for $120 each. That's what I paid. Helluva deal.
Members steadybrook Posted June 21, 2014 Members Report Posted June 21, 2014 (edited) I know what they are used for, I have some shaves different radius and am looking for smaller ones. ,I am not sure of the numbers on the tools and what the radius are. When you bought them were they brand new? Edited June 21, 2014 by steadybrook
Members mworthan Posted June 21, 2014 Author Members Report Posted June 21, 2014 I don't think anyone has made new heel shaves in 80 years. You can buy new spokeshaves, Travishers and such. Different animal though. To answer your question, no. Just new to me. PM me if you are interested.
Members mworthan Posted June 22, 2014 Author Members Report Posted June 22, 2014 $90 for all three. Shipping in continental US included.
Members steadybrook Posted June 22, 2014 Members Report Posted June 22, 2014 I am in Canada, how about $100 you pay the shipping. Here is my pay pal address steadybrook@eastlink.ca
Members Big Sioux Saddlery Posted June 22, 2014 Members Report Posted June 22, 2014 If these are still available, I will give you the $90.
