Hans Karlsson Heavy Duty Bent Gouge 55-40
Perfect for the hollowing of bowls and other hollow or curved forms.
Product Description
Heavy duty gouge which can be used with a wooden mallet. Has a thick brass hoop at the end of the handle for strength and a sound absorbing nylon insert, the shank is also heavy duty.
A unique (and refreshingly straight forward) reference system describes the sweep (curve). The number in this case, 55, is the radius in mm of the cutting edge. The width of the cutting edge is 40mm
Hans Karlsson makes a wide range of very high quality carving tools, but we have selected this one for its robustness and suitability for bowl carving and general work.
Product Specification
Iron made from high quality tool steel, cutting edge approx. 40mm. Total length 300mm including a 175mm hickory handle.
Additional notes
Comes sharpened and honed ready to use. This is one of the best quality tools that will take and hold an excellent edge.
