#3F-20mm Wood Carving Fishtail Gouge - Shallow Curve for Tight Spaces | Schaaf Tools
Professional 20mm sweep #3 fishtail gouge with flared blade. The fishtail profile reaches into tight corners and confined spaces while providing excellent visibility. Perfect for detail work and finishing. The Schaaf Tools 20mm Sweep #3 Fishtail Gouge combines the gentle smoothing ability of a #3 sweep with the specialized fishtail profile that flares out near the cutting edge. This unique shape allows you to reach into tight corners, work close to vertical walls, and access confined spaces that standard straight-sided gouges simply cannot navigate. The fishtail design tapers from a narrow shank to a wider 20mm cutting edge, creating a blade shape that resembles a fish's tail. This geometry provides two major advantages: exceptional visibility of your cutting line and the ability to work in recessed areas without the blade sides hitting surrounding wood. Relief carvers particularly value fishtail profiles for cleaning up backgrounds around detailed elements. Made from alloy chromium-
