SPOKESHAVE; LONG HANDLED

A spokeshave is a hand tool used to shape and smooth woods in woodworking jobs such as making cart wheel spokes or chair legs.
The deep patina on the wood and the significant surface oxidation (rust) on the metal suggest suggest a tool that has been aged for 100 or more years.
The use of a hand-forged or early industrial steel blade secured to a turned wooden handle by a metal ferrule is typical of late Victorian and early Edwardian era utilitarian tools.
