In (one of) my own spokeshave I modified the sole with a belt sander to a little radius. The mouth width I reduced by distance brass sheets under the blade. Further I tuned carefully the bed of the blade to reduce chatter. Then I added wooden handles in form of an eg to have a very fine control about the angle in which the sole touches the wood. Model of spokeshave: stanley #51 from flea market.
