    Got a handle on the 5/8 U gouge.

    Some kind of Fraxinus; finished with the wax for blokes who don't eat quiche ;-}

    Flute finish is pretty good; bit rough at the top.

    Will wear out this edge and then attempt a proper straight across grind. No idea how to do it.
    Cheers, Ern

    Hey Ern, I would be interested to know how your Thompson 5/8" V Gouge compares with the newly aquired 5/8" U Gouge, when it comes to roughing down and shaping? Which one do you prefer?

    Cheers
    John

    Well my three arrived yesterday morning. I've handled the 3/8 spindle gouge and as you can see by the dust on the tip I've taken it for a test drive. Very happy so far. Thats the handle for the 1/4" detail gaouge taking shape below it and I'll hopefully get the handle done for my new bowl gouge this weekend.

    Once again a big thank you to Neil and Nick for all their efforts on this, it is very much appreciated.

    Cheers
    WH

    You need to remove the "as" from the end of your link to make it work.
