Shavings
The tool is an antique drawknife. A historically costumed gentleman was using it on some cut tree branches to make ax handles and walking sticks last week when I visited Kline Creek Farm, in West Chicago, Illinois. The farm is intended to depict for visitors what life on the farm was like in the 1890s. The shavings are from the branches that were being shaved. I had intended to post this image for the Crazy Tuesday "Cutting Instruments" theme this week, but life intervened, and I didn't get it posted. So here it is today for the Thursday Monochrome groups.
