The Slick is a favorite of timber framers. Shaped like
a chisel, but wider, it has a slightly upswept handle and
works almost as well as a plane, sweeping across the wood.
The
Large Slick is a favorite among
log-smiths and also very popular for dressing hand-hewn
timbers; these slicks are great for cleaning up corners
after logs are stacked. Considered a must for dovetailed
timberwork.
The
Scarf Slick looks the same as
a flat slick from the front, but its blade is dished - curved
in two dimensions. For log work and cleaning dovetails. Heavier
in mass, will cut through obstructions more easily. See photo
below.
The Western
Scarf Slick is forged into a thinner
formation and is much lighter but
very popular in British Columbia for log work and cleaning
dovetails.
