#3F-12mm Wood Carving Fishtail Gouge - Narrow Shallow Curve for Fine Detail | Schaaf Tools

Professional 12mm sweep #3 fishtail gouge with narrow flared blade. Perfect for detailed finishing work, tight corners, and intricate relief carving where standard gouges won’t fit.   The Schaaf Tools 12mm Sweep #3 Fishtail Gouge brings the advantages of the fishtail profile to a more manageable width for detailed work. At 12mm (approximately 1/2") wide at the cutting edge, this gouge provides the perfect balance between the visibility and access of a fishtail design and the precision needed for finer details. The tapered fishtail shape allows this gouge to work in moderately confined spaces while still removing enough wood to be efficient. The shallow #3 sweep creates smooth, flowing cuts that refine and finish surfaces without removing too much material. This combination makes it invaluable for relief carving, where you often need to smooth backgrounds right up against detailed foreground elements without damaging them.
