I ordered a couple of tools from LandingCrafts.com A Benjamin's Best 2" roughing gouge and a bowl gouge. I had originally ordered a 3/8" but they were out of it so I got a 1/2" instead.
I am waiting on the new BlackHawk sharpening system to arrive to put a fingernail grind on the bowl gouge but the 2" roughing gouge cut really nice right out of the package. They have nice long handles on them not the same fit and finish I would expect from a Sorby or one of the other brands but at 38 dollars for the roughing gouge and about 20 for the bowl gouge both high speed steel and they both are milled quite nicely.
Put the first coat of finish on the handle for the ec tool hopefully will get that epoxied in tomorrow and give that a spin next week so I will review all these soon!
