Gouges worth trying

[plain_ol_ed]

Got a 1/2' #5 Denny palm gouge a while back and have been giving it a going over. Absolutly love it. If your in the market for a gouge you might give one a try. I'm going to order a couple more (probably a 7 and 9) next time I order stuff.

Ed,
Checked out the Gouges they look amazing I will be purchasing a couple of them in the near future. Does anyone know if or where in Canada the Denny gouges and knives are sold.

I just bought some Denny gouges from Little Shavers at a show in Monroe. I love the way they fit my hand and they cut perfect. For the money, I haven't found a better gouge (IMHO). I have three different sets of hand gouges, and these are now my favorites. Thanks for the advise Rick.
Cheers

I have a 3/4 #9 Auriou gouge I got from Dale I just tried it today and I like it. I haven't used large gouges in the past so is a new experience...but this is a nice tool.

Re: Gouges worth trying

I hope to buy the whole set but the way Denny is coming out with new ones I may not make it.

I love my v gouge designed by Peter Ortel ("PO VG") for roughing out carvings. I can use the v to make semi stop cuts and then lay the tool on it's side almost like a flat gouge.

Re: Gouges worth trying

Funny you should mention the Ortel V tool .... just got one a week or two ago from LittleShavers (stocks the complete denny line) and have to using it, as you do, as a roughout tool. My original purpose for getting it was to try it for setting eye sockets, but haven't gotten around to that yet.
