John Hechel Posted April 20, 2015 Report Posted April 20, 2015 Oh boy where to start? I wish I could keep them all! All the tools in the kit were very comfortable to use and they fit wonderfully in my hand. the finish on the handles was so flawless I was afraid to set them down and risk scratching them The easy rougher, I used this to rough out a few rolling pins from 2.5" square hard maple, walnut , and cherry. I found that the tool chipped the hard corners when first starting the cut but soon smoothed out when the pin got closer to round. My preference for the initial rounding/roughing out step returned to my Sorby roughing gouge. When I used the Easy Wood rougher on stock that had the corners sawn off this wasn't as much of an issue. Where I liked the easy rougher was truing up the turning and tapering the ends of my pins. I did get a little tear-out on the walnut but a quick sanding (less than 30 seconds ) took care of that. I found this tool to be very useful and feel it is a good fit for my turning skill level and projects. reviews of the other tools will be coming over the next few days John Quote
John Morris Posted April 20, 2015 Report Posted April 20, 2015 John, thank you for the review of our Easy Wood Tools loaners! We hope you enjoyed using them and had some good quality time to see what they are capable of. I look forward to more of the review as your time permits. I believe the tools are heading on down to Charles Nicholls next correct! Quote
