You're right - that pointed "fingernail to the armpit" gouge
looks a bit intimidating. To use it, do you pierce at the
center or rotation and then use the left edge as you work
yuor way out from the center?

How wide's that puppy?

7/16 "detail" gouge. You can forego the drilling and work center down and
out, then roll the opposite and work from edge up and in. Removes a
prodigious amount quickly.

That looks like a "Stott" parting tool. Should do well as a parter, but
watch into the face of a turning, as you can start to bind quickly.
