The Spoon Horse and other Small Shaves, is an extension of Sean's earlier book, Shaving Horses, Lap Shaves and Other Woodland Vices (Crafty Little Press, 2016). It has come about after several years using a variety of traditional designs and adapting these to suit Sean's own craft practice. The Spoon Horse has now replaced the role of his larger shaving horse, when working on smaller items. The Bench Horse is also a valuable resource in Sean's workshop.

Reflecting on design matters, Sean felt strongly that these smaller, sometimes more conveniently assembled seated vices are of greater advantage to green woodworkers who make spoons, fanbirds, pegs and other small items, than previously explored.

The Spoon Horse and other Small Shaves offers detailed plans, diagrams and clear working guidance for making the Spoon Horse, Bench Horse, and the Rope Horse, plus it provides instructions for additional features and modifications.
