The Acorn Bent Carving Gouges are exceptional hand tools crafted by Henry Taylor Tools, renowned tool makers based in Sheffield, UK. These gouges are particularly useful for hollowing concave surfaces, making them ideal for beginners in kuksa carving or small bowl making. These are best pushed rather than hit with a mallet.
Each gouge is fitted with a beech handle and comes sharp, though we recommend a final hone before use for optimal performance. These exceptionally well-made British tools are offered at very fair prices, making them a great addition to any carver's toolkit.
Product Details:- Sweep: available in two options, No.5 and No.8. No.8 is a deeper curve, better for removing more material; No.5 is a flatter curve, better for finishing cuts. Ideally, its useful to have both. Take a look at the Acorn Sweep Table here to compare.
