As Chris above said a spoon gouge is ideal for inside the bowl whereas a normal straight gouge is ideal for the outside and rim. When I say straight gouge that is the shaft is straight but the working end can be from a flat to quite a heavy sweep (curve of the tip across the chisel) . To give an...

A very nice bowl the yew will darken with age and I find is always a nice wood with plenty of character

I think you need to define medium size as to many it will mean different things. Also for large pieces do you have a supply of blanks. Also many people have their own opinions of tools as they only have the one so do not have anything to compare to. I have the crown system and for me and the...

I will just be glad when I feel like getting into the workshop. I have so many ideas running around the inside of my head at the moment especially as all I am doing is sitting here the mind does not stop thinking of new ideas.

At least you are getting some workshop time. I am feeling terrible and don't want to play with machines at the moment :cry: :cry: :cry:

It only has a tang to hold the handle on. which can snap if you get a major catch which is more likely the way you are using it. Never under any circumstance...

I don't like copying people as I stated elsewhere but had to make these on the request of the wife(well you have to keep them happy don't you? I must remember that when I get the magazine in future is to hide it) from the woodturner magazine last year by Colwyn Way. The angels are 17" to the tip...

For something like this, I would make my own a bit like my router jig for fluting. Besides that, once you get the hang of making duplicates it becomes easier to do without jigs.

I know this an old post but I still have this for sale
