Carving Tools     [Accessories, scroll down]

All of my carving tools are hand-forged from 1095 or 01 steel, heat treated for good edge retention and long life.  I ship the blades bare, which means they are ready for your own handles – I can supply the tools with handles as well, if desired, and will gladly quote a price if needed.

Please allow two weeks before shipping-these are made entirely by hand and I ship only the best tools I’m capable of making.

Goose-neck Spoon Gouges

These are the pride of my anvil, forged in one piece of 1095 or O1 steel.  While most of the tool is left blackened (oxidized) from the forging and heat-treatment processes, the exterior of the gouge’s bowl is polished to glide through wood.  Sold bare, the gouge is ready for you to fit a handle of your own choosing.  Note:  The bevel is on the outside of the curve.  80 each plus US shipping.

Scorps

Made from a single bar of 1095 steel, the metal is first sized to the correct width (about 5/8″) and then – using a traditional blacksmithing technique – the steel is welded to itself to form a loop.    Available sizes are 1/2″ for $43, 3/4″ for $49, and 1″ for $55; add 3.95 for US shipping

 

 

 

ACCESSORIES

Holdfasts are an essential tools for carving and other bench work, but the classic “Roubo” style is expensive due to the amount of forging – I should know, I make them!  This contemporary design takes far less hammering to create, and relies on modern steel to provide its strength of clamping.

The shaft is 3/4″ diameter and works in a 7/8″ hole, the reach is about 5-1/2″    Singly, 28 plus shipping, or 50 per pair plus shipping.
