re: Carving Gouges
Great description, Kenny!
FWIW, I have just a few gouges, the number 11s (a u-shaped profile, aka, a veiner) in which I intentionally dub the corners. I use them for bead and barrel moulding, and part of the technique there is rocking the veiner up to cut the ends of the barrels. If the gouge has sharp pointy corners, you end up with unsightly marks down in the bottom of the groove, which is not groovy.

May you have the day you deserve!
