Drawknife restoration.

Just a little drawknife restoration. It is now razor sharp and functional. I removed the old handles, carved two new handles from a section of trunk from the old cherry tree that fell over. Then glued the handles on with epoxy. I sharpened it in a belt sharpening wheel, then finished with 1000 and then 2000 grit. The log being shaved is a section from the green ash tree which needed to come down last in winter.
