1/2" Wood Carving Bowl Gouge - Professional Fingernail Bowl Gouge for Woodturning & Sculpting - Perfect for Bowls, Cups & Decorative Woodworking Projects

This 1/2" bowl gouge features a medium grind, with wing tips that have been ground back so the tool does not "catch" on the work piece.

Pull and push cuts, delicate shearing cuts, or full profile cuts can be made with ease. The medium grind lends itself to easy modification, allowing you to create profiles specifically suited to your turning requirements. Overall length 16-1/2".
