[Woodcarver] Kewl & Unique Set of Gouges

[Byron]

  Very interesting tools.  It looks like there's a taper on the handle 
like a mores taper.   With the bend handle you actually turn the tool 
sideways.  Very neat.
I think we would have a bit of trouble with the reverse bevel though,  
at least I think I would.  Still all in all a great find for a lucky carver.
