Drawknives were used for quick shaping and trimming of flat products
like shingles. They also were used to form rounded shapes such
as tool handles or the surfaces of barrel staves.
Special-purpose drawknives, such as coopers'
jiggers (bottom) and hollowing knives (top), often had curved
blades to form hollow shapes like the inside of barrel staves or the surface
to receive the barrel head.
Shaves or scorps were used for jobs such as shaping wooden chair
seats and smoothing the inside of bowls.
