Some time back, Robert Sorby had a line of turning tools that were
"Texas Size", or something like that.
The handles were 23" long and the shafts were on the order of 15" new.
At the time, I bought a 3/8" and 1/2 bowl gouge and a 2" wide skew chisel.

Despite searching, I can't find any reference to these anywhere recently.

Anyone have these gouges they may wish to sell? I'm located in Hawaii,
so my purchase choices are typically mainland US or more from my location.

Thanks

I use Serious Tools, since I turn rather large pieces, my lathe can
clear a 44" diameter bowl. I like the system of one handle being able
to hold different gouges. You put your own profile on the stock gouge
stock. I pull open my drawer and look down to see which profile I want
to use and simply change the gouge out. I'm in Hawaii also, so I know
how hard it is to find anything local for woodturning. I have one
massive roughing gouge that is 2 1/2 inches, that takes off material
in a hurry, and surprisingly leaves a nice cut.
