I’m hooked
I couldn’t wait to try my new 1/2 spindle gouge. The tool was shiny and sharp and ready to go. The tool cut smooth, clean, and effortlessly.
The service there is outstanding. When you call, they actually answer the phone. They got me hooked!

1/2” spindle gouge
Typical Carter & Son product - superior tool with best metallurgy. Comes sharp and stays sharp much longer. The sharpening guide that accompanies a shipment is very valuable when you eventually have to sharpen.
