    Default Shallow Bowl Gouge

    In Mike Darlow's DVD he uses a wide, very shallow fluted gouge for finishing the outside of a bowl. He called it a 'shallow hybrid gouge.' The finish, off the tool, was very good.
    A Google search on that name yields no hits. Is anyone familiar with the use of that tool and if I wanted to order one what would I be asking for.

    From your brief description I think you are talking of a variety of spindle gouge. If you go to the site of Crown Hand Tools :
    http://www.crownhandtools.ltd.uk/pro...ndlegouges.asp
    look at the number 2325. I think it might be the tool you are looking for.<O</O

    The one Mike was using had a bevel like a scraper and looked to be a thicker chisel. But it is very similar in shape. Thanks for that.

    By curiosity I went on Mike’s web site. I was deceived, there is only advertising on his books,… I could not see a picture of the tool you are mentioning.

    Could have been, or inspired by, a 'continental' spindle gouge. This is forged rather than ground and has an even thickness.

    Edit: see gouges, continental style, at http://www.robert-sorby.co.uk/

    I have one in carbon steel. Good to use but needs frequent sharpening of course.

    Was it like this?
    Cheers, Ern

    It's on his Practice of Woodturning DVD not on the website.
