Odd gouge?

[nev]

Didn't even know I had this and have no idea where I obtained it from :duno: and wondering whether its a 'proper' gouge/ chisel or something someone has created as I cannot find any pics of similar.

Can anyone enlighten me?

It's a big lump about 1.5" wide in an Ashley Iles handle.

It's a pattern maker's tool.

It's a skew chisel. I had one, never used it and so sold it. Can't remember the reasoning behind the cranked shaft but Tobias Kaye knew some of the history of the tool.

Cheers gents, just curiosity on my part before I get rid of it/them.

Ah, I bow to superior knowledge.
