Abstract
The present invention surrounds a gouge for use in woodturning, particularly in the fabrication of wood bowls, wherein the gouge is configured to provide longer reach with decreased deflection. The decreased deflection allows safer and more efficient woodturning process, resulting in better quality woodturning products. The gouge includes an inner cutting profile which is offset upward from the center of the outer profile, thus providing more structural rigidity when extending the tool from a tool rest and into the concavity of a bowl being turned.
