These gouges are used for such specialist work as scribing the shoulders of tenons formed on round components, chair legs for example. This set is made exclusively for Axminster Tools and Machinery in Sheffield, hand forged from the best high carbon steel and carefully finished in 1/4", 1/2" and 3/4" sizes. It is aimed at the keen woodworker who values his or her tools both for their function and their appearance. N.B. The bevel is on the inside of the gouge, therefore the cutting edge on the outside of gouge.
