I recently picked these up but am not sure exactly what type of turning tools they are. The one with ought a handle is beefy - 7/8” diameter. Can some one help out? Thanks (yes, I will be posting these for sale soon, in the classifieds).

These "appear" to be homemade turning tools.
A better photo of the tip or cutting edge might help, but I suspect these were purpose made for one type of turning.

Various scrapers or fluteless gouges and one bowl gouge.

From the right in last photo...



A replaceable tip scraper tool
One bowl gouge (1/2"?)
Two DIY scrapers or fluteless gouges
A DIY scraper for doing something specific*
The two small tools of left?... do they have a flat on them anywhere?


* That one looks like it could have been made from an almost spent bowl gouge.

The DIY scraper is really thick stick - almost 1”. Do turning tools coke that size?

The small tools have no flats. Burnishers maybe?
