Helvie® Natural Wood Thumbnail Gouges
The Helvie® thumbnail gouges are a push tool. Each of the gouges have a palm tool handle measuring approximately 2 5/8" long. Handles come in a natural wood of our choosing. These are similar to the Bullnose Gouges with the exception of having a curved cutting end. Push them straight and you only cut in the center of the blade, rotate either left or right and you have a smaller cutting plain. Great tool for cleaning out those tight in between spots, relief carving, etc.
