The standard for face-grain bowl work in almost all English speaking countries in the world. Made from a 5/8" diameter round rod, 1/2" across the flutes. Unhandled.
Made by Hamlet of Sheffield England in high speed steel, this is a powerful size to do almost any size face-grain bowl--from 5" to 30" in diameter. The sizing is the English method: outside of one flute to the inside of the other--so this is called a "1/2" gouge but is made from a 5/8" round rod. The overall length is 12", with the flute around 6.5" in length. This is the unhandled version: I recommend a 16" to 18" long handle.
