Henry Taylor Acorn #3 Allongee Gouge for Woodcarving

These tools are designed for the initial rough shaping of large timber sections. Built robustly, they can handle heavy-duty work and endure repeated mallet strikes.

The sweep number (#3) refers to the curvature of the cutting edge. A larger sweep number correlates to a greater angle of curvature, while a #1 would have a straight blade.

These professional-grade carving tools are made by Henry Taylor Ltd. in Sheffield, UK. For over 185 years, Henry Taylor tools have been crafted by hand by skilled artisans using a blend of traditional methods, modern technology, and premium steel to ensure long-lasting performance and exceptional edge retention.

These tools are made from high-quality Sheffield steel, which is hand-forged and heat-treated to produce a fine, durable cutting edge. Each tool features an octagonal European beech handle fitted with a brass ferrule.

Please note: These tools are individually handmade, so slight variations in size and shape are to be expected. They are sharpened at the factory but will require final honing before use for optimal performance.
