Description
A set of Dastra gouges recommended by woodcarving teacher Mary May as the best place for a beginning carver to start. The 6-Piece Set includes five fishtail gouges and one V tool. The 8-Piece set includes these plus two straight gouges that are also recommended for a beginning tool collection (see below for sizes and sweeps).
These Dastra tools are full-size, professional gouges. The overall length averages 10″ and each tool is fitted with an octagon hornbeam handle sized in proportion to the blade. The blades are hardened to Rc61 and are buffed to a satin finish. The profiles are beautifully ground and polished by expert craftsmen so that each tool reflects a perfect balance of strength and grace. Our Dastra tools arrive expertly sharpened and ready to use! Made in Germany.
**Note: The #5 14mm Fishtail is currently on backorder. Until these are back in stock, we will substitute a #5 14mm Straight Gouge. **
