STRYI Hand-Forged Deep Gouge Sweep #8 10mm, 15mm, 25mm and 30mm: Tool for Deep Relief Carving and Rounded Hollows
The STRYI Forged Sweep #8 is a specialized professional tool designed for aggressive shaping and high-relief detail. Its deep semi-circular curve lets you dive into the wood to create bold shadows, smooth rounded hollows, and fluid, organic valleys that a flatter tool cannot reach. It is the perfect choice for relief carvers who need depth and control in the same tool.
Why Professionals Choose the STRYI Sweep #8:
Tapered Body for Maneuverability Deep gouges often feel heavy and cumbersome. The #8 has a tapered 3mm (0.12") metal body that gives clearance in tight recesses, so the sides of the tool do not rub or bruise the workpiece. The profile suits deep furrows, rounded scrolls, and heavy drapery, and it clears waste quickly while leaving a smooth surface that needs little sanding.
Premium U8 High-Carbon Steel Heavy shaping demands an edge that holds. Forged from U8 high-carbon tool steel and hardened to 61 HRC (Rockwell), this gouge keeps its bite through hours of clearing waste in hardwoods. It arrives sharpened and ready for everything from soft basswood to dense white oak.
Ergonomic Oak Handle The 4.7" (120mm) handle is made from genuine oak and treated with natural linseed oil. A copper ferrule reinforces it, and the shape gives you stability and a secure grip for both mallet work and delicate hand-pushed details.
Choose the Size for Your Project The 0.4" (10mm) width suits deep, narrow accents, eye sockets in figure carving, and fine organic textures. The 0.6" (15mm) width is a mid-size for flower petals, deep scrolls, and architectural moldings. The 1.0" (25mm) and 1.2" (30mm) widths are for rapid material removal and large, bold contours in big sculptures.
