make one from a small flat work chisel, and it does most of what you'd do
with a skew or beading tool.

A couple years ago I attended a 2-day workshop with Jean-Francois
Escoulen - truly a master with the bedan. (Makes sense given the French
origins of both.) He handles the bedan both as a wide parting tool and a
narrow skew.

Did he bring one of his trembleurs with him? And did he go over use of his
string spindle steady? Both remarkable as far as I'm concerned.
