[Woodcarver] Gouges

[Jan Oegema]

Charley B writes in part 
* Someone once told me that gouges are designed to cut across the grain, when I try that the wood usually splinters and chips.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++
For across grain carving I use SCEW shisles 
wich are on an angle  
Works great for me Charley
