With the Stubbs I just use it like a conventional knife. I would use a 1″ ball monster carbid bit on a die grinder. Then finish it with a 1″ flap sanding wheel. If I was going to go with a gouge it would be a 1″ short bent spoon in a #7 sweep to gouge the depth and a 1\/2″ back bent #3 sweep to finish the inside walls. I also have a Denny spoon gouge, it is an excellent tool. I bought two hirsch gouges #7 one is 14mm the other is 35mm.<\/p>\n

For some small bowls, a narrower #5 may be a better option, but for most the curve of this gouge will negotiate the hollow without the corners digging in. The second number indicates–usually in millimeters–the width of the cutting edge. Widths can be as narrow as 3 mm and as wide as 50mm or more. Wood carving tool sets for beginners frequently include a 6mm gouge, an 8mm gouge, a 10mm gouge, and a 20mm gouge.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
