You can get them made up in all kinds of curves from almost straight to nearly circular. I have ditched almost all my gouges in favour of 3 profiles of bent knives. They are the bees knees!<BR/>I can also rough out a spoon bowl in next to no time with them...even when the wood is some of the crazy figured maple that I love to use.<BR/>I can't wait to hear what name gets selected and even more, I can't wait to see the spoon finished and find out who will win it!<BR/><BR/>Cheers<BR/>DaveAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6961024307018430114.post-51751805653079990622009-03-20T08:48:00.000-07:002009-03-20T08:48:00.000-07:00He's really looking good, Dave.

I used it to clean up the smaller kolrosed areas that I didn't like on my current spoon. I also love Dell Stubbs' hook knives and use them a lot, but Mike's bent knife gets me closer to the work and gives me more control. For the name I'm voting for Dewi y Ddraig and fully expect him to be hanging on my wall after the Eisteddfod!!Bob Tinsleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12925965417241048148noreply@blogger.com
