December 3, 20223 yr I keep talking about my Craftsman brand shallow spindle gouges. I came across this video with a similar gouge being used. Check out the amount of available cutting edge and the shearing cuts being achieved. Close to a skew but easier to use. Seeing it in action is much better than words. I would like to know what he is using for a finish too.
December 3, 20223 yr Cool video, Thanks, Dan! That's an interesting grind on the shallow spindle gouge, almost like a negative rake on the "inside" of the tip Edited December 3, 20223 yr by lew
December 3, 20223 yr Maybe something from here for the finish- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Channapatna_toys
December 4, 20223 yr Interesting video. I would think he had a better surface of the gouge before using that skew as a scraper., Looks like the finish is some kind of lacquer but have never seen it applied that way.

Whatever the finish was he was using would cover a lot of imperfections.
