Has anyone else seen the "new" lathe tools and woodcraft made by Carter and Sons Toolworks? I dont know much about them, but they look well made, have a good heft to them, and are made in the US. They also come with a steep price tag.
So went to their site found no prices listed. So went to stores listed at their site "Klingspor's Woodworking Shop & Woodcraft. Could not find their tools listed online or in Klingspor's catalog.
I picked up the big bowl gouge in Jan (guess my local woodcraft got these very early) on the advice of one of the instructors there. I was/am pretty new to woodturning, but I've been doing some pretty big bowls and like this tool quite a bit. It came with the multi-bevel fingernail profile already ground and that was a nice bonus to someone new.
I've a pretty decent collection of Sorby turning tools as well, and I have to say the stability from this one is a serious + when turning large bowls. Only downside is that the aluminum handle gets cold in the winter.
