[Woodcarver] old tool usage

[Loren Woodard]

Marilee:

What you have is probably a back bent gouge.  There are many uses for them.
I can think of Acanthus carving, Facial carving (Jeff Phares uses them in
the eyebrow area of a realistic face), etc. I have several in my tool
arsenal.   Sharpen them up and when you find a need to turn your tool upside
down, that is where they will come in handy.

Hello Everyone!
   I have some old gouges and we think they may have come from a furniture 
carver.  They are wonderful! But there are some backward (?) bent ones.  
That isn't a very good description but they look like a spoon gouge but the 
sharp edge is under the bent part.  (or maybe I'm holding it wrong!)  
Anyway,  I was wondering if anyone going to Honesdale might know how to use 
these and be able to show me?    Thanks!
Merrilee
(I know I should have shown them to Joe in Evart but I just didn't think of 
it! :( )
