ABSTRACT:
The invention is directed to a hand tool for cutting shavings from the surface of a workpiece of wood (or other workable material) to shape and make smooth any three-dimensional surface having concave, flat, and/or convex contours. The thickness of the shavings is modulated by the angular relationship and distance between a blade and a regulating post. An embodiment comprises a combination body and handle holding a protruding cutting blade at an angle of about 30° to the surface of the workpiece, and an adjustable protruding post in front of the cutting edge to limit the effective exposure of the cutting edge as the tool is moved into contact with the workpiece. The embodiments provide a full view of the cutting zone and unrestricted one-hand use on surfaces of any contour.
