Thanks Jim, I knew I did something with them. That is my daughters leg in one of the pictures.
The design is something Bill Coperthwaite passed on to me an others, when he does a carving workshop he has the attendants make the horse first, they take that home with them as well as part of the craft. He always encourages changes for the simpler side, what can you do to make it still work yet have the tool be even more democratic, something anyone can make and use.
A wood splitter with a grate the billet is pushed through, like the old french fry maker. Out pops blanks ready for shaving.
