#6-12mm Wood Carving Gouge - Medium-Deep Curve for Versatile Shaping | Schaaf Tools

Professional 12mm sweep #6 gouge with medium-deep curve. Versatile tool that bridges shallow and deep gouges, perfect for shaping, hollowing, and creating dimensional relief elements.   The Schaaf Tools 12mm Sweep #6 Gouge occupies the sweet spot between shallow finishing gouges and deeply curved hollowing tools. This medium-deep sweep removes wood efficiently while maintaining excellent control, making it one of the most versatile gouges you can add to your toolkit. At 12mm (approximately 1/2") wide, it's sized perfectly for detailed work that still needs to cover ground. The #6 sweep is deep enough to create pronounced concave shapes and remove wood quickly, yet not so deep that it becomes difficult to control or sharpen. This makes it ideal for carving dimensional elements in relief work — flower petals, drapery folds, and organic forms that need depth and shadow. Sculpture carvers use it extensively for shaping rounded forms and creating smooth transitions between surfaces. Made fr
