The Two Cherries #10 Gouge is a German carving gouge in 30 versions: straight in 14 widths from 2 to 35 mm, curved in 6, 10, 12, 14, 16, 20, 25, 30 and 35 mm, and spoon bent in 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 16 and 18 mm.
In carving tool sweep numbers, #3 is the shallowest gouge and #11 the deepest, and the #10 sits toward the deep end. The deeper the sweep, the more wood each cut removes. Straight gouges work flat and convex surfaces, curved gouges work concave surfaces, and spoon bent gouges cut tighter concave curves and undercut in relief carving.
Two Cherries carving tools are full-length professional tools, polished inside and out, with about 125 mm of blade in high-carbon steel hardened to 61 HRC and an octagonal hornbeam handle that won't roll off the bench. Sizes 25 mm and wider have a double-hooped handle for added strength.
Two Cherries is the English name for Kirschen, German for cherries. The company has made woodworking tools in Remscheid, Germany, since 1858 and is still family-owned.
