I picked up a very nice old draw knife at an antique store for $20.  I think it is a pine knot brand.  It was in great shape.  I didn't even have to sharpen it.
I started out with nothin' and I still got most of it left

ken, I never used it for shaping but I've always shaped them with a hatchet. I don't own a bow grade bandsaw. I bet a cleaver would shape too. Jawge
