Large Flat Sole Spoke Shave - Brown Mallee Burl
Brown Mallee Burl (Eucalyptus dumosa complex) is a uniquely figured Australian burl prized for its swirling grain, eyes, and deep amber to chocolate-brown tones. Dense and stable when dry, it turns and polishes exceptionally well, making it ideal for fine woodworking, tool infills, pen blanks, and decorative accents. Each piece is one-of-a-kind due to its wild burl patterning.

Weighs 0.5 Kg and has a 45mm wide x 1.6mm thick x 34mm long Tool Steel (TS) blade hardened to Rc 62-64 OR a High Speed Steel (HSS) blade hardened to Rc 62. The HSS is ideal if you plan to reverse the blade to bevel up and use it as a scraper on hard timber.
It has a 55 degrees blade pitch for planing, and by reversing the blade to bevel up it will perform as a scraper for use of hard cranky woods. The mouth is protected by a brass sole.
