[Woodcarver] A 2.5 sweep gouge ...

[tafink at aol.com]

 Larry,

There's always Tools for Working Wood if anyone wants one now.

Also, have you ever checked out www.mstein.sk?  Very nice looking tools and I know they were looking for a U.S. distributor.  The finish around the ferrule was very crisp.

Tom

Hey Tom,
 
The Gonzalez Hooked Skew was a pretty good seller when wecarried it.  We had them in the 5/8” and 3/4” blades.  Unfortunately when thedollar started shrinking on the European market and the Euro when the otherway, the tools really went out-of-sight price wise.  We’ll have to look intocarrying them again when things calm down a bit.

Larry,

That would be it.  I am also a fan of Ashley Iles' Ray Gonzalez hooked skew,but it is a tough tool to use in small spaces, or when doing hand carving.

Hi Tom,

 

The Stubai curved skew you mention… is that the one they call theSK oblique skew that has the rounded cutting edge?  Stubai advertises itfor doing chip carving and letter cutting, but the uses for it areconsiderable.

 

Thanks for your input.

Patti,

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

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 bitshorter
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 "specialorder"
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.
