Acorn by Henry Taylor #5 Curved Gouges for Woodcarving
These tools are curved along their length to allow easier cutting in recessed areas, such as inside bowls or along curves—perfect for shaping concave surfaces where straight blades can't reach.
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.
