  • Added Guild Project Update - Make a Shave Horse

    August 23, 2024 10:55 PM | Vincent Valvo (Administrator)

    Back in May and June invitations went out to join the Shave Horse Project.  Several members participating in the project met in August at Ed Payne’s shop for an initial meeting. We had some good discussion about potential uses of a horse, and demonstrated the two basic traditional designs: German dumb-head and English bodger’s horse. Everyone got a chance to ride a horse and use a drawknife to begin shaping green and kiln-dried wood, and a few folks did some riving with a froe. Except for a few drops of blood from a splinter, there were no injuries and a lot of camaraderie. Participants left with numerous articles and plans, heading home to decide on the best style and dimensions for their own personal shave horse. The informal consensus seemed to favor the dumb-head design, and we’ll stay in touch to learn what people decide. - Rob Carver
