Long Bent Curved Gouge woodworking tool with ash wood handle and carbon steel blade

Weight in the hand, curve in the grain

A long, bent sweep that slips into hollow forms and leaves them calm and true.

At the bench

The arc that shapes the bowl

A quiet curve

Shaping hollows can feel like wrestling the wood instead of guiding it. The Long Bent (Curved) Gouge meets the cut at the right angle, letting the blade carry the curve. With widths from 10 to 45 mm, the sweep moves from rough scoops to refined textures without breaking rhythm.

Cuts that follow through

When a tool fits the task, hands last longer and lines get cleaner. A 52100 carbon steel edge and ash handle finished in linseed oil keep control steady through long sessions. The ergonomic balance reduces strain, so the form—not fatigue—decides when you stop.

For makers who listen to wood

Carvers shaping bowls, spoons, and detailed hollows in hard or soft woods who want reliable control and a comfortable grip.

Where it lives

Reach into bowls, spoons, and vessels to scoop, smooth, and texture with controlled, curved cuts.
