I have one from Best Wood Tools. The make several overhang lengths, plus
and adjustable one. I will admit that I seldom use it. The only time I
find it useful is on very grabby woods like green oak and when using a
scrapper. For bowl gouges I find that the tool position is less comfortable
and doesn't buy me any real advantage.

I'm sure this subject has discussed here before and if I searched the
archives, I'd find my answer. However, since things are sort of quiet
here right now, I'll just ask opinions on curved tool rests.

Which one do you have, do you like it and why or why not?

I was always going to get one but .......... well, just never did.

Thanks,
Ruth
