Shipwrights Tool ?
« on: July 15, 2019, 01:16:02 PM »
A recent find at my local Car Boot Sale (Flea Market to you guys across the pond), It looks hand made and pretty old. I believe this maybe a Shipwrights tool of some sort. Can anyone confirm or deny this ? Its about a foot long

Wish i knew.   Looks like a plane blade, but not at all sure how (or what) it was used on.   :undecided:

looks a bit like a cabinet scraper, maybe for barnacles?

It looks like a mill pick for sharpening millstones.  See page 323 of Sellens book.  The handles are usually longer.  The blade is a little different than what I usually see, and there is usually not a wedge with that style.
