1″ tanged gouge by Wm. Butcher, sharpened outcannel, #7 sweep

Description

This gouge is in average condition. The gouge is firmly seated in the handle despite the lack of a ferrule. There is some storage rust on the gouge and some pitting here and there. There are some micro-chips out of the cutting edge, but nothing too bad, and the edge is sharp. There’s the usual wear to the handle. There’s about 3-1/2″ left to the shoulder, enough for a few years of use.
