Need good source for carving gloves
Think you are asking too much. I get a number of mine from Woodcraft at
about that price. I see them at shows and most are in that area--get some there as well. Have several catalogues and they charge that as well plus shipping. Have bought some lesser priced cutting tools and not at all happy with the quality and ability to hold an edge, despite my frequent stropping. My Gloves and thumb guard are from Woodcraft. On balance, must say feel they are not paying as much attention to their carving clients as before. Wood stock and carving tools seem to be in short supply or "waiting on another shipment". Perhaps that applies only to the store in my area, St. Louis metro. Bill Houdek "Freckledgrrl" wrote in message et... A good price is definitely a factor. Also am looking for good, fullsize carving tools (Woodcraft - type) for less than the seeming average of $27 per chisel/gouge. Thanks! |

Bill:
Yep, that $27 seems to be about the going price for good hand tools...The optimist in me had to ask. The tools I use at work are Woodcraft, and am very happy w/them. Have about $400 worth so far, and still want to get a few more for some specialized carvings. "Bill Houdek" wrote in message ... Think you are asking too much.

I've been happy with several gouge purchases on EBAY.
