It is a useful introduction to working by hand, whether you are planning a woodblock print, a lino design or a simple wood-carving project. Five separate tools let you change the shape of the cut without changing a blade in a handle.<\/p>\n<h3>Tools in this set<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Round-edged flat chisel: 7.5 mm.<\/li>\n<li>Skew knife: 7.5 mm.<\/li>\n<li>U-gouges: 3 mm and 6 mm.<\/li>\n<li>V-gouge: 3 mm.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The smaller U-gouge makes a narrower rounded cut, while the 6 mm gouge is useful when you want to remove a wider strip. The V profile creates a different kind of mark, and the skew knife and round-edged flat chisel add options for defining edges and clearing spaces. Try the tools on a spare piece of your chosen material to see the character of each cut.<\/p>\n<h3>Materials and storage<\/h3>\n<p>The tools have steel blades and birch wood handles, with an overall length of approximately 170 mm. This boxed version is supplied in a wooden storage box and includes blade caps. Keeping each tool in its place helps you identify the profile you need and check that everything is returned after a session.<\/p>\n<h3>A manageable first selection<\/h3>\n<p>Begin with a bold design rather than very fine detail. Draw the parts you want to keep, then clear the surrounding areas in short, controlled cuts. Compare a trial print with the carved surface before making further changes. The five-piece selection keeps the choice of tools straightforward while still letting you explore several types of mark.<\/p>\n<p>Keep the blades clean and dry, maintain their edges and replace the caps for storage. Secure the workpiece and keep your supporting hand away from the cutting path.
