Draw-knife
A draw-knife — the two-handled blade that shaves wood toward you — often touches the slow shaping of a hope that may yet fall short. The dream may ask what fair prospect you're working into form, where a promising thing might go down in mistake and disappointment, and how much of the work depends on a steady, unfaltering pull.
A live archive of what the world is dreaming tonight: which symbols are rising, the collective mood, and where the dreams are coming from. Free, always.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for draw-knife, in their own words. They are period voices, not predictions, and they do not always agree with one another.
Gustavus Hindman Miller, 1901
To see or use a draw-knife, portends unfulfiled hopes or desires.
Some fair prospect will loom before you, only to go down in mistake and disappointment.
