ScorpI've been wanting to add this to my line for some time. A guy they used to refer to as "Mr. Drum" (Daniel McCarty) on Orcas Island (Washington) wanted me to make a tool for carving out the insides of large jimbay drums. Daniel wanted to anckor the drum to the ground and then with a pulling tool on the end of a six foot handle he would use his whole body to pull out shavings, with the grain. (Daniel is a tall guy, about 6'6").As it turns out, this tool is incredibly good for hollowing out other large surfaces, like canoes and the backs of totem poles. Like my other tools, it has a very fine bevel to slice through cuts quite well, and heat treatment to stand up to hard use. |
Here are some pictures of it in use: |

HandlesI highly recommend making your own handle for this scorp. You can shape it however you like and make it whatever length you want. The handle doesn't need to have any curve to it, can be a simple straight shaft. An axe handles at your local hardware store may also work well, or one broken off at the head can be reshaped a bit. You might even want to make several handles of different shape and length for different projects. Mounting the blade is very easy with the four lag screws (included). | ||
