Hey, I'm wanting to make a new handle for an old hammer. Will be using some scrap maple and wanted to have a look that's not too refined & smooth but rather you can see the plane lines/where shaved angles meet (if you know what I'm talking about....if not I'll try and find a picture to explain). I do however want a tapered bend in the handle like most have and am thinking a spokeshave purchase is in order. I'll likely also use it for some log/twig furniture accents.
Questions
Thanks in advance !

Questions
- Do you believe a flat, round or concave shaped spokeshave would be best here ?
- Do you believe I do not really need a spoke shave for the hammer handle but could use my LN rabbeting block plane just as easily ? I'm thinking I couldn't w/ the tapered curved portion of the handle and certainly not for twigs due to turns
Thanks in advance !
