Illustrations of the London Pattern tools. Full details of the London pattern tools are provided in the catalogue. Allongee Pattern Carving gouges These are larger tools with the same quality and finish as the London pattern. They are available in 3 widths: 1 1/4 in. (31 mm.), 1 1/2 in. (37 mm.) and 2 in. (50 mm.). Each width comes in 7 sweeps, covering a slight curve to a full semi-circle. Block cutting tools (or American palm tools)) These tools are about half the length of the blades in our London Pattern. This makes them ideal for small or delicate work. Originally there was one set of 6 tools, now there are 7 sets with a total of 31 tools. These include our popular 1/16 in, 60° 'V' tools and the 1/16 in. 45° 'V' tools which are perfect for details such as feathers and fur. All block cutters are made from the same steel and to the same high standard as our full size tools. More information on the block cutting tools Whittling (or Chip Carving) toolsThese hand-carving knives are imported from the USA. Two sets are available for either light or heavy work. Both sets have interchangeable handles. |
