A woodworking tool with a curved blade and two handles, used by pulling it toward you to shave or smooth wood surfaces.
Compound of 'draw' (you draw it toward you) and 'shave' (to remove thin layers). This tool has been used since medieval times and the name perfectly describes its action.
A drawshave is why it's called 'drawing' a blade toward you—the word 'draw' originally meant any pulling motion, and woodworkers still use this tool today for creating curved edges on furniture and bowls.
