Bowl Gouges - Arlin Eastman - 11-14-2023
What bowl gouges and sizes do you use?
I have the Jamieson 5/8 which he game me about 6 years ago and still have about 2" of gouge left after almost constant use for a while.

One other that I like is the 5/8 Henry Taylor gouge and it works great also. Have had it for almost 7 years and still good tool length left

Also have the 5/8, 1/2, and 3/8 Sorby gouges that I use quite often as well. I do not care for them like the other two but they still work
none of them hold an edge or last as long as the Jamieson and Henry Taylor ones.

D-Way 3/4 and 3/8, Crown Ellsworth 1/2, Sorry 5/8 and 1/2. I have a few others I got from my FIL, but the Ellsworth is my go to sharpened at 60 degrees. I’ve also sharpened a couple others to that same and it works great with a U-shaped flute (not as well with V-shaped)

Pinnacle 3/8" and 5/8". I use the 5/8" for almost everything except where I need to get into a tight spot.

For tight spots I use my spindle gouges. The biggest one of those is the 9/16 which I got from craft supply and it works great but what I use it mostly for is shear scrapping with the point almost vertical and the shavings are so sweet and end up with no pull out.
