Quiet precision, held in the hand

A narrow, flared edge meets ash grain—made for those steady pauses between each cut.

At the bench

The line where shape appears

A 12 mm answer

Small curves and tight corners ask for control, not force. The Straight Carving Gouge – 12 mm slips into narrow joints with a flared, sharpened edge that stays true. The ash handle rests easily in the palm, keeping your wrist calm as detail work unfolds.

Clean cuts, calm hands

When a tool meets wood without hesitation, you stay with the grain and the moment. Hand‑forged 52100 steel carries a keen edge, so lines come out crisp and deliberate. Sized at 12 mm, it reaches where broader tools stumble, making delicate shaping feel natural.

For the maker at close range

Woodcarvers, furniture makers, and detail‑driven craftspeople who need steady control in tight spaces.

How it’s used

Reach into corners and narrow joints to remove small amounts of wood with controlled, precise strokes.
