Looking at the cross sections of my handle-less gouges, I think they are technically carving gouges.

Anyway, I need to start making handles. I was going to use this piece of laurel from the yard but it has since cracked. Still dense as a rock, though. Not sure I should bother now, without an epoxy job. Bah.

Time to start dividing up the beech.

Oh, I forgot. I also have some plum, which is probably good for two or three.

I want to try the hard Robinia pseudoacacia¹ wood, but I must go to Piedmont to find some of it, because here it's not a common tree.
