Ashley Iles - Sweep 03 - Wood Carving Gouge

The Ashley Iles Sweep 3 carving gouge features a very shallow cutting profile, perfect for controlled shaping, smoothing, and fine finishing in wood carving.

What is a Sweep 3 Used For?

• Refining surfaces and blending gentle curves
• Light shaping in relief carving and decorative work
• Smoothing tool marks after deeper cuts
• Creating subtle transitions on flat or slightly curved areas

Unlike deeper gouges, the Sweep 3 is designed to remove fine shavings with precision, giving carvers full control when finishing a piece.
