Takahashi Straight Gouges
Gouges are the main tool of the wood
carver and come in a variety of sizes and sweeps (transverse curvature of the
blade). Generally speaking, gouges with deeper sweeps and larger sizes will
remove a greater amount of material and are used for roughing out and for
intermediate and finish work on carvings and sculptures of larger size. Narrower
gouges are generally used for finish and detail cuts and for most work on
smaller carvings.
