Bowyers Flote
Steve H:
Hello
I am new to this forum so I thought I would start off with a question.
I am interested in the Bowyers Flote. Does any one have pictures of one, know how they were made, how they are used or even made or used one them selves? I would be most interested to hear what you have to say.
Happy shooting
Steve H

Hi Steve,
The Float or multi-bladed scraper plane is still made in China and is available from a well known German on-line tool seller and also from an Irish Archery supply store. Sorry I cannot give the name and e-addresses of them as that would violate PA rules as neither of them appear to be advertisers. Just do a search for multi-bladed scraper plane and you will find them.
Please note Float is the more usual for of the spelling than Flote.
The Arms of the Worshipful Company of Bowyers show on the left side a man holding a float while three floats are seen in the shield.
Craig.

Them rules are.....very something in my opinion...
Just search for " Flot Dick " and you will find it directly.
I made this one a couple of month ago, but the angel of the blades is not so good. something around 80° would probably better
Gruß acker

Craig and acker, you can give the name of the company as long as you don't add a direct link to their site. Folks can PM or e-mail you for more info also. We aren't really as nasty as you make us out to be. ;)

Acker, are those just cabinet scrapers? Do they vary in thickness? If so, is it best to have the thin one first, or last in the row? I bought a set of 4 scrapers (varying thicknesses) and now seeing your picture, I may finally have a reason to own more than one! Thanks for posting that!
