    Turning tool ID’s please

    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.

    About the same distance from most of you heading East or West.

    It's easy to see the Dunning-Kruger Effect in others, but a bit of a conundrum when it comes to yourself...

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

    The small tools have no flats. Burnishers maybe?
