D_Mac 8,623 #1 Posted April 11, 2021 (edited) A friend of mine sent me those photos asking me if I knew what this was. Since I worked with leather he thought maybe I knew. I have never seen one. He thought it looked like old glass cutter but no. His father works with glass. Anyone ?? Maybe wood working tool ?? It is like 5 inches long.

formariz 11,987 #2 Posted April 11, 2021 (edited) Spoon bit . Used in a brace and preferred by chairmakers due to the fact amongst others that one can make tapered holes with them. Notches are user made and not original to it. Very old braces did not have a standard chuck configuration or design and bits were many times made specifically for a particular brace. Notches on this one were obviously made to accommodate the chuck of a particular brace. Edited April 11, 2021 by formariz 2 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
