Hi Brendan,
I have a P&N and a Woodcut 12mm Bowl gouge and I much prefer the Woodcut. I'm sure it is all down to personal choice but I like the extra weight in the Woodcut. I also seem to get a better cut following the shape on the inside of the bowl so I can finish with one continuous cut. (if that makes sense). The Woodcut clears the timber quicker so I can always see where I am and what is coming off.
I also sharpen with a Tormek and have no problem lining up the round bar to sharpen. The Tormek jig clamps down very well, even on round.
Good videos! keep it up.

Thanks for that, Neil.
People can question my intentions, it's something I need to live with. But with all product promotion (if that's how some want to view it), most can cut through the hype and get to the bones of the issue. I find it very hard to wax lyrical about something I intrinsically don't believe in.

You make some good points Barry. I really think its like the Holden vs Ford debate. P&N vs Sorby etc. People have their pet likes or preferences or allegiance. However, with Woodcut they are sufficiently different in design to offer something other than a different colour handle or brand on the shaft. And like you and me, its not 'til you try them that you notice this difference. But some just aren't prepared to consider anything other than what they are used to.
