Preston Skew Spokeshave - JimReed@Tallahassee - 01-24-2017 I was in the shop today on a recreational tour and found these two shaves to play with. The Preston 1391 spokeshave is well known but they also made a skew version. I always skew my spokeshave in use because it is easier. I guess the engineers at Preston wanted to save me and others the trouble and insert the skew at the factory. Holding it on a scrap shows the 15 degree skew. And we all know that skew planes leave delightful spiral shavings. Of course, the regular 1391 also pulls nice shavings but without the spiral. I guess this never caught on.
