Robert Sorby Standard & Fingernail Spindle Gouges

Spindle gouges are used for producing shapes - beads and coves - on spindle work. These are delicate tools designed for creating fine detail. These are not rugged enough to be used on face-plate work.
Fingernail Spindle Gouges are the same as standard spindle gouges except for the fact that the wings of the cutting face have been swept back. This reduces any risk of a catch when working in confined areas.
