This gouge is deigned to clean up the bottom of wooden bowls, that hard to reach center where the grain comes together. Sometimes it is referred to as a "dog-leg" or "swan-neck" gouge. These gouges are forged from 5160 spring steel and the large gouge has an overall length of 15"-16". The blades are 1-3/4" - 2” wide and are approximately a #5 sweep. The small gouge is about 12” long and the blades vary between 1-1/2” to 1-3/4” wide. The sweep is also a #5. Handles are turned hardwood with a copper ferrule.
The tight sweep gouge is similar in size to the small, but with a #6 sweep for small bowls and mid sized kuksas.
