This antique wood carving chisel is a nice addition to any woodworking collection. Made by Addis in the United Kingdom, this #3 straight gouge chisel has a 5/8" cut and measures 10-1/4" in length. The chisel is in good condition for any woodworking project. The blade is clean steel with slight age staining and has a fine shiny sharp edge ready to put to work. The hardwood handle has nice finish remaining with the owner's name "T.Jones" and "3" stamped in the wood. Someone filed off the Addis name on the blade, but the number "3" and the blade collar are clearly Addis made. Whether you're a seasoned woodworker or just starting out, this wood carving chisel is sure to impress. The Addis brand is highly respected in the woodworking community and this antique original is a true gem. Don't miss out on this opportunity to add a piece of history and a stellar tool 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.
