Before you reach for a straight razor and head for the corral read on. I spoke with a club member about using a shaving horse to make walking sticks. He mentioned he was going to build a fancy one with some plans from Lee Valley Tools. I replied that I had some other plans of wooden horses in my files at home. I promised to bring them to the next meeting. In the mean time I looked up shaving horse on the internet and turned up some interesting things. Check out http://bloodandsawdust.com for some interesting reading. Another site with more on shaving horses is http://www.greenwoodworking.com . When I think of all the sticks that I have done with only a knife and some carving tools it makes me want to build a shaving horse real soon to save on some of the work.
