Shavers of spokes

The new old spokester is on the left. The one I bought new several years ago is on the right. I thought the two would be similar and I could give away the recent acquisition, but on trying the thing out after a major honing session it proves to have such different characteristics that I must hold on to it. I am very tempted to try building a few of my own to get into the areas neither can reach. Today's project was the seat for the stool. I cannibalized a horrible office chair for the pneumatic riser and made the new wheeled legs ages ago as a diversion from those welded door windows. The stool is a useful height for working at the rather high counters and workbench.
