Sculpting Tools by Henry Taylor

These hand-forged sculpting tools will make short work of roughing out large carvings or signs. Although large, they are well balanced and easy to work with.

Four styles are available: a 1 1/4" double-bevel chisel, a 1" straight gouge with a deep #11 sweep, a 2" shallow-sweep #3 gouge, and a 3/4" 60° parting tool. Factory ground with 15° bevels, the tools are fitted with doubled-hooped hardwood handles and leather shock washers.

Usable with or without a mallet, the tools need only honing for softwood applications, but should have a 25° secondary bevel for use on hardwood. These tools can remove massive amounts of wood quickly. Hardened to Rc56-60.
