Hans Karlsson Dogleg Gouge 150-30 is suitable for completing the final stages of hollowing out medium sized bowls.

Made in Sweden by the esteemed Hans Karlsson Klensmide AB forge.

This tool will remove many of the tool marks left by gouges with a larger sweep

Works best with two hands, one on the handle and one putting gentle pressure near the cutting edge, therefore your wooden blank should ideally be held in a vice or other form of holding device.

Made from high quality ball-bearing steel, that will take and hold an excellent edge.

Total length approx. 250mm (10") including 100mm (4") lightly oiled elm or ash handle.

Hans Karlsson has his own reference system to describe the sweep (curvature) of a tools edge, in this case, 150 is the curve of a circle designated by the diameter measured in millimeters and 30 (1 3/16") is the length of the cutting edge in mm from corner to corner.

A 150 sweep is almost flat so best suited to the bottom of bowls and gently curved side walls on medium - large bowls.

The Hans Karlsson Dogleg Gouge 150-30 comes sharpened and honed ready to work.

Comes with a unique Woodsmith designed leather sheath to protect the cutting edge.

This great quality tool that will be a joy to use.
