Michihamono Skew U-Gouge Carving Tool, Left, 6mm #70222060

Michihamono Skew U-Gouge Carving Tool, Left, 6mm, made in Japan.
• A skew U-gouge, developed on the idea that if a flat chisel can be ground at an angle to make a skew knife, a U-gouge can be ground at an angle too.
• The angled edge cuts with a constant slicing motion, leaving a clean finished surface.
• Useful for finishing areas where the wood grain direction changes.
• Left and right versions are available, but they are not matched to the user's dominant hand; right-handed users who want to avoid digging in while cutting from front to back may prefer the left-hand version.
