1/2 Detail / Spindle Gouge – with 16″ Maple Handle
$ 135.00
The strong 1/2″ spindle/detail gouge has a flute with shallow radius. Shipped with a 45 degree grind, many turners sharpen these types of gouges to a sharper angle, and sometime add a secondary bevel.
Many turners who are primarily bowl turners find these much friendlier for spindle turning than using a skew. The handle is hard maple with a stainless steel ferrule.

Quick viewLarge Skew – Unhandled
$ 89.00Add to cartDetails
Our large skew is made of M42 and measures 1” across and 5/16 thick. The edge is beveled 20 degrees and has been hollow ground on an 8” diameter wheel before honing to a razor sharp edge. The cutting edge of the gouge has been ground to a gentle 2” radius. We consulted with noted turner Matt Monaco on the profile of this grind. The 2" radius of the profile has a small return at the top, adding versatility for cutting beads and adding details.
The lower edges of the gouge have a generous radius to help rolling the gouge to make beads and coves. The top edges also have a small radius. The skew has a rectangular tang and does not fit our collet based handle system.
