Advantages:
βœ… Straight Gouges for Versatile Wood Carving
The straight blade profile provides a familiar working angle for carving, shaping, sculpting, and removing wood from open and moderately concave surfaces.
βœ… Choose the Blade Width You Need
Eight blade widths are available from 10 mm to 45 mm, allowing you to select a narrow gouge for detailed work or a wider blade for broader shaping and material removal.
βœ… 3-Piece Carving Gouge Set Available
The set includes 20 mm, 30 mm, and 40 mm gouges, providing three useful widths for different stages of rough shaping, carving, and refining wooden surfaces.
βœ… Useful for Spoon and Bowl Carving
The curved cutting edges can be used for shaping spoon blanks, forming shallow hollows, refining bowls, and working on other projects that require controlled carving of curved surfaces.
βœ… Controlled Wood Removal
Different blade widths allow you to move between detailed cuts and broader material removal while maintaining control during carving and sculpting work.
βœ… Hand-Forged Working Tools
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.

Care Instructions:
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 Straight Wood Carving Gouges are practical tools for spoon carvers, bowl makers, wood sculptors, whittlers, and green woodworkers who need different blade widths for controlled shaping, carving, and wood removal.
