DockYard Micro Gouge 3mm

DockYard Micro Gouge 3mm

DockYard Micro Carving Tools are hand made especially for micro wood carving and model building.  Furthermore, each tool has been individually tested to ensure sharpness and proper cutting profile.

Here are some Tips for using these DockYard tools:
We recommend you make multiple shallow cuts rather than one deep cut.  In addition, make sure the tool does not become buried in the wood as the cutting edge may bend or break.  Avoid “monster force” as the force you can exert on such small tool tips is enormous.  Do not pry or twist the tool in the wood as they are designed for cutting only. Use DockYard tools on wood only.  Keep your DockYard tools sharp by using our Micro Tool Slip Strop.
