Overview

Mike’s aptly named “wood beater” is built for efficient material removal and shaping. 

The hefty 3/4" diameter and slightly shorter flute provide vibration dampening. A sharp arc on the nose ensures a smaller cutting surface, making the tool easier to control. 

What makes a 5-star wood beater?

  • 3/4” parabolic bowl gouge 
  • Shipped sharp with the grind found at Mahoney’s lathe (easily duplicated using a Wolverine jig) 
  • Double bevel reduces catches and unwanted marks on the cutting surface
  • Superior M42 high speed steel with a 10% cobalt content, for unparalleled edge holding 
  • M42 HSS' unique durability and razor edge mean less grinding and cleaner cuts
  • Unmatched flute polish boosts the razor edge and provides efficient chip flow
  • Put comfort and control first with an interchangeable aluminum handle
  • Handcrafted in the USA, and backed by a lifetime guarantee and hassle-free returns

The Specs

  • Parabolic flute, and swept back grind at 40º
  • Blade measures 3/4” outside diameter x 13” overall
  • 3/4” tang diameter
  • 16” x 3/4” handle (no adapter) 

 

    How This Tool Is Built

    We start with the sharpest edge, and we don't stop there. Vanquish vibration, say adios to constant resharpening, and let wispy shavings fly. Delivering superior performance at your lathe drives our manufacturing. 

    We’ve worked with M42 high speed steel for 4 decades, and it’s uniquely suited to woodturning. You’ll grind less - a cobalt additive provides unparalleled edge holding. And the steel produces a finer, sharper edge for clean cuts. M42 is a win-win: less grinding and smoother cuts. 

    Our carefully sourced M42 starts as solid stock and is precision machined (not formed) with a unique round tang for unmatched strength. Every gouge sports a distinctive flute polish. This boosts the razor edge and provides efficient chip flow. Learn more about M42 HSS here.

    Rigorous and detailed sums up our manufacturing. Each tool’s vibration-demolishing round tang has a diameter so precise you’ll hear a ‘pop’ when you pull it out of the handle. And every tool leaves our factory razor sharp and backed by a 100% lifetime guarantee. Built to last!

    Rest assured our aluminum handles feel as great as they look. Perfectly weighted for balance and maneuverability, and designed to fit your hand. You’ll forget the handle is even there, in the best way possible. Two set screws secure your tool into the handle and allow removal for sharpening.

    From flute polish to handle knurling, we’re not cutting corners. Whether you’re just starting out, or have been turning for decades, it’s an honor to serve you with quality tools. Learn more about our story here

    Magnificent tool!

    I really like turning big, ugly, slightly unbalanced chunks of logs and seeing how they become beautiful, useful or decorative items as I peel off the layers! This big 3/4” gouge with a 20” handle is an absolute beast! I am learning more about it every day! Presenting the tool correctly is important! I will also have to spend a little time learning to duplicate the grind it came with! It’s all part of my daily journey! Love Carter and Son tools! Not a big fan of how long it actually takes to get one! UPS SUCKS!

    Parabolic chisels

    Haven’t used these tools yet but look perfectly ground and I am sure just as good as all the other tools from them I have. Keep in mind they do have specific uses.

    Ordered 1/2" bowl gouge and got nothing weeks later still nothing very disappointing will have to see if I can get my money back

    Thank you for your review Joseph. My apologies for the delayed update as we move your order through our manufacturing process! Thank you for taking our call last Friday to discuss your order. Each and every tool has a 15 step process in order to ensure the highest quality tool reaches your lathe. On average an order takes 10 business days to be completed and then a few more for shipping. I am just waiting on your 1/2' Bowl Gouge, which is currently going through our rigorous heat treating process! I expect to have this ready to ship tomorrow the 19th. Thank you for your patience as we complete the manufacturing, and look forward to you enjoying some high quality tools at your lathe!

    I did respond to Paul's e-mail last week so I'll keep it brief. Great tool. Flute polish & grind are excellent, Will likely progressively modify the grind slightly during ongoing sharpenings. Have rough turned 4 Claro bowls so far and made a pile of shavings. Holds edge very well.
    Thanks,
    John Stough

    Great Tool

    Sharp is insufficient to describe the sharpness of this tool. Balance is great
