Just completed set of small dovetail chisels. 3/16, 1/4, 5/16, 3/8 and 1/2" are the widths. Overall length 6 1/2". Resin infused curly maple handles. High carbon steel blades.

Actually saw maker Ron Bontz does the resin infusion for me. From what I understand it's a vacuum chamber infusion and then baked to cure. I think he mentioned that the last set of blanks nearly double in weight during the process.
