 Tool Comparison
|
| We are often asked how the
different carving tools we carry compare. In a way, tools are like automobiles: they
all will get you where you want to go, but they come in different styles and models to
suit varying tastes and budgets. We carry two brands of carving tools:
Dastra made in Germany and Two
Cherries made in Germany.
The photo shows the
two carving tool brands we carry. From the top Two
Cherries, Dastra. All of these tools are #5 sweep, 20mm
gouges.
Use the chart below to select the carving tools
that are best for you.

their own unique handles and blades, and the overall length varies. From left:
Diefenbacher Brand (11"), Two Cherries (10 1/4") and Stubai Brand (9
3/4").
