The Ashley Iles HSS roughing gouge is a lovely big chunk of forged and cryogenically hardened M2 high speed steel that sits reassuringly on the toolrest and will bring your square or natural edged turning blanks down to smooth concentric cylinders.
Ashley Iles woodturning tools are individually handmade in England, the forgings are ground by hand to a beautiful finish with all edges eased so that they feel wonderful in the hand.
Supplied fitted with traditional pattern beech handle made in Sheffield.
