Irish grind vs Ellsworth gouge

I need to replace my Ellsworth gouge. In addition to the Signature gouge, I have found others (cheaper) in various catalogs. Is there a big difference between the Irish (Celtic) Grind and the Ellsworth Signature gouge? And what is a Cut-Back grind? Thanks for the information. Dinyar So , if you grind the sides of your 1/2" gouge by eye as I have been doing for 30 years or so, you develop a second nature movement and then grind the front with an oval sweep, you will end up with convex edge on the sides and a little shorter wing. This is the Porchfish grind. No I do NOT duplicate this for others. Just get a good Sorby 1/2" gouge, look at side grind designs and develop through trial and error what works for you. If your name is Ellsworth, of Course you will prefer an Ellsworth grind etc etc. Be an individual and find what you feel good working with. Goodon'ya ! |
