Beginning with stock steel, hickory and copper piping, I created a few tools specific to my practice. The steel was bent, hardened and sharpened. I attached the carved handles to the draw knife by an internal mechanical hold. Apart from the others, the gouge steel was repurposed. For smooth tactile use, I enameled copper to use as ferrels.
