These hand-forged carving gouges are designed for spoon carving, bowl carving, kuksa carving, wood hollowing, sculpting, and shaping deep concave wooden surfaces. Their curved cutting edges and bent profiles provide controlled access to recessed areas, making them practical for removing wood, forming hollows, and refining the inside of spoons, bowls, cups, kuksas, and other curved wooden forms.

You can select an individual gouge in the blade width you need or choose the complete 8-piece set with 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, and 45 mm gouges.

• Blade Width: 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, or 45 mm (0.39, 0.59, 0.79, 0.98, 1.18, 1.38, 1.57, or 1.77 in)

• Blade Length: 10 cm (3.94 in)

• Handle Length: 11 cm (4.33 in)

• Overall Length: 21.5 cm (8.46 in)

✔️ Blades: Made from 52100 carbon steel, known for its strength, toughness, and ability to hold a sharp working edge with proper care.

✔️ Handles: Made from ash wood, a strong and resilient hardwood with good shock resistance. Its natural grain gives the handles a comfortable feel and a traditional appearance.

✔️ Leather Tool Roll: Made from Crazy Horse leather, valued for its durability and distinctive vintage-style finish. The roll keeps the gouges organized and helps protect them during storage and transportation.

The curved cutting edges are well suited for removing wood and shaping concave surfaces when carving spoons, bowls, cups, kuksas, and other hollow wooden projects.

Choose from blade widths ranging from 10 mm to 45 mm, allowing you to use narrower gouges for detailed carving and wider blades for shaping and hollowing larger areas.

The full set includes 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, and 45 mm gouges, providing a broad range of cutting widths for different stages of hollowing, shaping, and refining wood.

The curved shank provides additional clearance and helps position the cutting edge inside deeper or recessed areas where a conventional straight gouge can be less convenient to use.

The different blade widths allow the carver to move from precise cuts to broader material removal while maintaining control over curved and concave surfaces.

Each carving gouge is forged and finished by hand, giving it a traditional handmade character. Small variations in the forged surfaces are a natural part of the production process and make every tool unique.

To keep your carving gouges in good working condition, clean the blades after use, wipe the carbon steel completely dry, and store the tools in a dry place. Apply a light coat of oil to the steel periodically to help prevent rust. The ash handles can occasionally be treated with natural oil or wax to preserve the wood. Make sure the blades are clean and dry before storing the tools in the leather roll.

These Hand-Forged Carving Gouges are practical hollowing and sculpting tools for spoon carvers, bowl makers, kuksa carvers, green woodworkers, and wood sculptors who need different blade widths for controlled shaping and wood removal on curved and recessed wooden surfaces.
