If you want to really play with a cool tool, try an oval skew... SO cool
to be
able to roll it a little...


Try a straight chisel, sometimes referred to as a "beading tool," and you'll
wonder why anyone would want to use a skew. Those who turned in the woods
for a living used straight and chisels with mild concavity, because they
were more controllable, made a smoother bead, and were easy to sharpen.

I think I have one, George, just not sure from your description... sort of a
round skew but without that damned angle on the end?
