In the hand, work begins

A compact ash palm, a clean arc of steel, and the quiet rhythm of shavings on the bench.

Benchside quiet

Small curves, steady hands

Straight Gouge, honest work

Fussy contours don’t need a crowded toolkit. The Straight Carving Gouge with Palm Handle, 5–12 mm, lets you settle in and guide the line without strain. Its compact handle sits naturally in the palm, keeping control close to the work. Arriving sharpened, it moves through soft or hardwood with confidence.

Control you can feel

When the tool disappears, the curve shows up. With a blade sized for detail and a handle shaped for longer sessions, you stay present with the grain—sculpting, smoothing, and refining without breaking rhythm. Two widths invite you to switch from shaping to finishing in the same familiar grip.

For the ones who carve

Woodworkers and artisans shaping reliefs, joinery details, and small sculptures at a close, deliberate pace.

Put it to work

Reach for the 5 mm to define tight concaves, then step to the 12 mm to smooth broader curves on the same piece.
