Barr Chair Makers Gouge - 1 1/2 Inch No1 Sweep

Barr tools are made to last through years of the heaviest work, whether you're a timber framer, log house builder or sculptor. Hammer forging packs the steel, producing a very fine-grained, dense metal. This process also introduces more carbon into a smaller area. As a result you get a blade with remarkable edge-holding ability without being brittle. Chisels feature fitted socket handles, steel ferrules, and are delivered shaving sharp!

1-1/2" cutting edge, #1 sweep, overall length 10"
