I have used a couple of different kinds of Crown as well as the Sorby
bowls gouges. I like the Crown version of the Ellsworth Signature
Bowl Gouge the best. It has a very long handle. This helps with
control especially in deeper bowls. It also has a more parabolic
shape to its flute. If ground correctly this seems to work well (for
me anyway) for a variety of cuts on both the inside and the outside of
the bowl.
