[Woodcarver] Kewl & Unique Set of Gouges

[Lloyd Smith]

That is an incannel bevel; it is used for deep scup carving, easier than
reversing the blade

		Hey Gang,

		At our weekly Erie Canal Woodcarvers meeting last night a
friend brought these tools to show me.  They belonged to a deceased uncle
who was a cabinet maker and they were offered to him.  Not "weird" enough
for a "whatzit", but thought they'd be interesting to everyone.  The blades
are interchangeable with a system I've never seen before. The end off the
handle shaft is tapered and fits into a tapered hole at the base of each
blade in the same way a violin tuning peg fits into the tuning box of a
violin.  Surprisingly solid and easy to undo when needed.  The "weird" part
about this set is that the bevel on all the edges is on the inside.  Is this
because they were used by a cabinet maker?  Harold and I saw this done on a
"V" tool at an antique tool booth and thought it was just an "inside" joke
for woodcarvers. <G>
