To a lot of people, drawknives look more like medieval weapons than useful woodworking tools.
(And to be fair, it’d be the first tool I’d grab if an angry horde of garden gnomes raided my shop).
But these misunderstood hand tools are a lot more useful and versatile than you’d think. From rough to fine work, green to dried lumber, the drawknife has a place in all types of woodworking.
Today, I’m covering the basics of drawknives — including common uses, how to use them effectively, and a few project ideas they’re well-suited to.
You may realize a drawknife can be a lot more than a Keebler Elf neutralizer…and how much fun they are to use.
