    Gouges

Gouges

High quality woodturning tools from Hamlet Craft Tools, based in Sheffield, United Kingdom, which is synonymous with fine hand tools, cutlery and steel manufacturing. Some gouges are also offered unhandled which can be used with the Multi-Handles offered from Hamlet and Simon Hope. The Multi-Handles offers more weight which is ideal for bowl gouges to reduce vibration. Shorter Multi Handles can also be selected for smaller lathes with limited swing over the bed.

A selection of CRYO double ended gouges designed by Simon Hope and manufactured by Crown is also offered. The combined effect of the cryogenic processing is to produce a refined crystal structure in your hand tool that will give a lifetimes service by producing a blade that will retain its edge longer and give a superior ‘feel’ in use.
