od, how are you attaching your handles?  Threading, epoxy, etc.?

Nice pair of draw knives. The blades look flat and the handles look pretty level with the blades. Are you using them for draw shaves or truing up timbers?

I find curving the blades downward in the center a bit and having the handles angle up slightly from the plane of the blade makes better draw knives for pealing bark. A straight blade and handles angled down from the plane of the blade makes for better spoke and handle shaves.

Please bear in mind that's just my experience with draw knives, what there is of it. I know I've read about them but that was years ago and I wasn't so interested by then. It's funny how quickly a guy learns to peal logs while they're green <grin>

Very nice. One of these days I'll have to take some time and try and make one of those. I've always loved draw knives, but never really have any need for one regularly.

These look GOOD!
