Inshave or Scorp

Here is a vintage used Scorp, otherwise known as an inshave.

These were coopers tools but they were also used to hollow out wooden chair seats.

This one is in good order and once sharpened could be put back into use.

Handles are tight and in good condition, although previous owner as carved the initial A into a flat area on them, which does not interfere with the tools use.

A makers mark is stamped in but not very clear.

The pictures shows a ruler which is there to give an idea of the size - it is not included in the sale
