[Woodcarver]Thumbnail Gouge

[Joe Dillett]

Hi Dick,

I have a Thumbnailed Gouge but I don't find much use for it except for 
showing someone what one looks like. I'm guessing that you could use it any 
place you would use a Veiner that you didn't need straight virtical wings. 
The wings fan out. I did try it a few times when I thought it matched the 
profile inside the lobe of an oak leaf but I quickly went back to my 
standards profiles because that was what I was used to.

>>Nosed and bullnosed are the same.  A thumbnail gouge is different.

>>A thumbnail gouge is kind of a cross between a gouge, veiner and V tool.
