Finished these this past weekend, 2 scrapers, square end & round end
with Oak handles. 15mm shallow flute finger nail grind gouge with
Mahogany handle. “The Monster”, Hexagon handle with 15mm deep
Fluted with Ellsworth style grind. A friend did the mill work for me,
I made him a couple of Pens from an Ebonized piece of Poplar that
Used to be in his grandfathers yard in Alabama </ST1:pand was struck by lightning.
I think I came out the better on this deal. The scrapers I cut with
A hacksaw (insert groan here) and shaped them on the grinder.
<O:p</O:p
Scrapers, Hope LOML doesn't see where I layed the tools to take pic (ottoman)!

Mahogany

The Monster, I made this to be interchangeable, remove 2 set screws and insert
2 other shafts. It is very heavy, but it will take square to round in no time at
all with very little effort. I placed a Henry Taylor 1/2 “ gouge next to it for scale.

Next weeks tools: A skew & a couple of 1/2 gouges ...
