A quick search of their site doesn't reveal what we are looking for (daughter fancies doing some spoon carving) but I'll give em a call tomorrow if they are open. There's always tilgear in cuffley http://www.tilgear.info/ I had already scanned the Tillgear catalogue and I don't think they do exactly what we looking for (even if not Frosts etc). I don't think they open on Sat either. Thanks though, ;-) T i m |

I wasn't convinced I was getting through. A Google for said tool set shows yer typical chisels and gouges (and even one called a spoon gouge) but not what I was looking for. They sounded like: http://www.tooled-up.com/ManProduct.asp?PID=132617 When I believe I wanted: http://lakelandbushcraft.co.uk/acatalog/Knives.html (bottom 5 items). The handy thing for daughter is she shouldn't have any issues getting material to practice on as she currently spends much of her day feeding such through a chipper. ;-) Cheers, T i m |
