Drawknife

A drawknife is a tool used for shaping wood. It kinda looks like a big knife with two handles on either side. You use it by pulling it towards you while pressing down on the wood. This helps you take off thin slices of wood so you can make things like chair legs, spoons or even a carved horse. It's like using a really big pencil sharpener but for wood instead of pencils! The drawknife has been used for a long, long time by carpenters and woodworkers to make intricate designs and useful things out of wood. So, just like how you use scissors to cut paper, people use drawknives to cut wood!
