[Woodcarver] Chat for Lloyd - scup carving

[Merrilee Johnson]

As I am reading your replys I need to ask what is a "deep Scup carving"?  What kind of things are carved?    Thanks for adding this info.

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>
