Hi all,
Looking towards christmas pressie time.
After reading the article in the latest Bushcraft magazine regarding "a platter to flatter" i would like to try my hand at some rectangular bowl type plates. Achieving the flat blank of wood is ok, but then i need to carve the bowl. Article author uses a gouge (does Kevin Warrington appear on hear) with baton for roughing and in hand for finishing. My questions are do i need a straight or curved gouge? Does anyone have an opinion on Ashley Iles gouges and whats the difference between all these http://www.asktools.co.uk/contents/en-uk/d252.html sizes. i would probably choose a 14 x 1" curved if i had to plump for one. What do others use?
