The Acorn Straight Carving Gouges are exceptional hand tools crafted by Henry Taylor Tools, renowned tool makers based in Sheffield, UK. These gouges are particularly useful for the bulk of initial wood removal when starting to remove the hollow and down the sides, making them ideal for beginners in kuksa or small bowl carving. Straight gouges can be lightly tapped with small wooden or rawhide 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.
