[Woodcarver] Kewl & Unique Set of Gouges

[Maura Macaluso]

 All of the major gouge makers still produce them. Very, very useful for high relief.  Sad to say, I only have 1 or 2, will have to look into them again

        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>
