The sole is flat, but I will recheck the blade itself.
Paul Sellers has a video where he says to round the sides of the blade so they don't catch on material "greater than 2 inches", and since that's where mine was catching I rounded them.
I wonder if part of the issues as well is that the piece of maple I'm trying to shave is wide. Should the material being cut be smaller in width than the spokeshave's blade?
I'm actually pretty new to woodworking, having just started the hobby during the pandemic. So I apologize if that's a stupid question.
