[Woodcarver] old tool usage

[Joe Dillett]

Hi Merrilee,

I think I know the type of back bent gouges that you're talking about. If
its the ones that I think you've got they are used for doing convexed shapes
such as grapes. Most carvers use the normal gouge in an upside-down position
but if you don't have a straight shot at it, that back bent can get into
those closed in areas.
