[Woodcarver] A 2.5 sweep gouge ...

[tafink at aol.com]

 Patti,

I have a 2.5 sweep in the 20 mm, which is a great smoothing gouge.  I also have Stubai's curved skew, which is a great all around tool.  Again, it's in the European size range, which I find great for both hand work and mallet work.  I also like the right and left short bend skews for cleaning recesses.

Howdy again,

A while back we were talking about the very shallow sweeps on gouges and the
topic of something less than a #3 sweep came up.

I mentioned at the time that Stubai out of Austria makes a #2.5 gouge that
is flatter than a #3 but not absolutely flat like a chisel.  I have since
found out they are available from 2MM (5/64") up to 35MM (1 3/8") in
Stubai's 8" Euro-style tools.  Those are the ones that are a bit shorter
than the full-size 10", but still can be used with a mallet if necessary.

If anyone wants additional information on pricing, please drop me a note off
list so we don't clog up the mail.  We're getting ready to place a stock
order the first of the week so it would be a good time to fill your needs.
At present we are going to treat the 2.5 sweep gouges as "special order"
items until we see a need developing for particular sizes, then we will
probably keep some in stock.

I hope this will be helpful for those of you who inquired earlier.

Thanks.
