Chair Maker Gouge

The Chair Maker Gouge is purpose-built for hollowing seat blanks and shaping the curved surfaces that define a great Windsor or ladder-back chair. Hand forged from high-carbon steel, the gouge holds an edge through heavy shaping sessions and responds predictably under mallet or hand pressure. The properly fitted hardwood handle keeps the tool comfortable in extended use. An essential tool for any chair maker looking to achieve clean, consistent hollows.
