Description
The BAC INDUSTRIES INC TMB-10S is a 10 inch straight draw shave designed for removing bark and shaping wood on logs, firewood, fence posts, and similar stock. The blade is 5 mm thick, set at a 30-degree angle, and constructed from heavy-duty steel with a hardness rating of HRC 30. That combination of geometry and steel hardness allows the tool to shave bark and wood accurately with minimal applied force. Wood handles provide a secure two-handed grip during use. A blade protector is included to maintain edge sharpness during storage and to reduce handling risk between uses. The blade can be resharpened with a whetstone when needed.
The TMB-10S is suited for outdoor and shop applications where debarking or rough shaping of natural wood is required. Common uses include preparing fence posts, processing firewood, shaping green lumber, and furniture building where hand-tool work is preferred. The tool is packaged in a quantity of two units per package, making it practical for job sites or shops that keep backup hand tools on hand. It is appropriate for professional woodworkers, timber framers, and skilled tradespeople who work with raw or semi-processed wood stock.

Installation Notes
A draw shave is a hand tool requiring no power source or mechanical installation. Secure the workpiece firmly in a shaving horse, vise, or clamp before use to prevent movement during the draw stroke. Always store the tool with the blade protector in place when not in use. Resharpening should be performed with an appropriate whetstone, maintaining the existing 30-degree bevel angle.
