This hand forged spoon carving gouge is designed for wood carvers, spoon makers, bowl makers, kuksa carvers, and woodworking enthusiasts who need a practical tool for hollowing, shaping, and refining curved wooden surfaces. Its bent gouge blade makes it useful for carving spoons, bowls, cups, sculptural details, and other woodworking projects where controlled cuts and smooth concave shaping are important.

This listing includes a variation choice for blade width. You can choose a 20 mm, 30 mm, or 40 mm spoon carving gouge depending on your project size, carving style, and how much wood you need to remove.

• Blade Width Options: 20 mm, 30 mm, 40 mm (0.79 in, 1.18 in, 1.57 in)

• Blade Length: 14 cm (5.51 in)

• Handle Length: 12.5 cm (4.92 in)

• Overall Length: 26.5 cm (10.43 in)

✔️ Blade: Made from 52100 carbon steel, valued for toughness, durability, and stable edge retention. This steel is a reliable choice for hand-forged carving tools that need a sharp working edge and long-term performance with proper care.

✔️ Handle: Made from ash wood, a strong and resilient hardwood known for shock resistance, comfortable handling, and a natural grip. The handle gives the tool a traditional handmade appearance and a secure feel during carving.

✔️ Leather Sheath: Made from Crazy Horse leather, known for its dense structure, wear resistance, and rich vintage-style finish. It helps protect the sharpened edge during storage and develops a natural patina over time.

The gouge shape is practical for hollowing and shaping spoons, bowls, cups, kuksas, and other curved wooden forms.

The 20 mm size is useful for smaller details, the 30 mm size is a versatile middle option, and the 40 mm size helps remove more wood from wider hollowed surfaces.

The bent blade profile helps reach into hollowed areas and refine inside curves where a straight knife is less effective.

This gouge can also be used for sculptural carving, decorative details, and general woodworking projects that require curved cuts.

Each selected gouge comes with a Crazy Horse leather sheath to help keep the cutting edge covered during storage and transport.

To keep your spoon carving gouge in good working condition, wipe the carbon steel blade dry after each use and store the tool in a dry place. Apply a light coat of oil to the steel to help prevent rust. The ash handle can be treated occasionally with natural oil or wax to preserve the wood. Make sure the blade is dry before placing it into the leather sheath.
