IMG_3115.jpgI’m visiting Maine to take a chair class with Andy Glenn. While here, I had to make a stop and look around Liberty Tool Co. I had to pass up a few items that are too heavy to fly home, but made a couple purchases. A few F clamps labeled “Standard”, an unknown spokeshave with a pre-Stanley, Bailey iron. The shave has a tight mouth and was too interesting to pass up. Finally, a draw knife in such nice shape that I couldn’t pass it by. Handles are tight, no pitting, no grinder abuse and it’s never been hammered on. The name on it is A.W. Crossman or maybe A.W. Grossman? Anyhow, it was easy enough to put an edge on, let’s see if it keeps an edge.
