Lag bolts are used to join it together and allow it to fold for storage or to carry.

Shaving block is adjustable by moving dowel to other holes.

The original idea for this shaving horse design came from a book entitled, Make a Chair from a Tree: an Introduction to Working Green Wood, by John Alexander. For more information on working with green wood and classes on wood working, visit his website at http://www.greenwoodworking.com
