[Woodcarver] Kewl & Unique Set of Gouges

[Marcia Berkall]

Mike, I found this on WikiAnswers:
    "A scribing gouge has the bevel ground on the inside and is used 
primarily for cutting an internal radius (for example when cutting a 
mason's mitre). A firmer gouge has the bevel ground on the outer 
surface and may be used for carving etc.  "

I'm not sure that's any help. :)
