This rare wide size antique Timber Framing Wood Chisel Gouge is a fantastic addition to any woodworking collection. Made by James Howarth in the United Kingdom, this Wood Chisel Gouge has a harder to find 1-1/8" wide #3 Sweep Gouge blade and measures 14-1/8" inches in near full original length. The chisel is in super condition and is perfect for any woodworking project. The blade is shiny clean steel with a fine sharp edge ready to put to work.  The hand-turned fruitwood handle has nice finish remaining with barely light signs of use and beautiful woodgrain.  Whether you're a seasoned woodworker or just starting out, this chisel is sure to impress. The Howarth brand is highly respected in the woodworking community for it's fine Sheffield steel that really holds an edge, and this antique original is a true gem. Don't miss out on this opportunity to add a piece of history to your woodcarving workshop.

I originally had a collection of over 1,800 antique wood chisels which I sold off about 5 years ago when I fully retired. Now I specialize in finding fine wood carving chisels to hone and restore to put them in the hands of serious wood carvers.  My long-time buyers include wood carvers at the Vatican, Smithsonian, and British Royal Estates. I don't make much profit, but the joy of putting fine wood carving tools back in the hands of master carvers is what matters.
