Crown Tools Rolled Edge Skew Gouge
A skew chisel is a tool which repays practise with excellent results. The best, but sometimes the most daunting tool for planing spinle work and with practise, cutting clean beads and fine details.
The first skews were made from rectangular bar. Professionals then groudn a rounded edge to make tool rolling easier when cutting beads. Manufacturers then made a rounded (rolled) edge version, then...

Crown Tools Bowl Gouge
A bowl gouge is the perfect tool for roughing down bowl and platter blanks as well as shaping and hollowing to a good finish.
These tools are made by milling a U shaped flute in a round bar. The width (a little confusingly) is the width of the flute, rather than the diameter of the bar.
The larger gouges are ideal for roughing down blanks and reaching into large bowls. The 1/4" (6mm) is...
Crown Tools Pro PM Bowl Gouge
The Pro-PM is an exclusive range for Crown Tools and is the elite if all turning chisels.

The chisels are hardened to between 66 degree and 69 degree Rockwell, enabling...

Crown Tools HSS Continental Spindle Gouge
These are Crown Tools versions of Continental Spindle Gouges which are similar to the old carbon steel gouges.
Continental spindle gouges are made by forging a curved blade from a flat bar (similar to a roughing gouge but shallower) and depending on the size can be used like a standard gouge and also a small roughing gouge.
To measure a continental gouge you measure the width across the top of...
Crown Tools Thin Parting Tool - 1/16'' (1.6mm)
This is Crown Tools Thin Parting Tool, width 1/16''.
Thin parting tools allow for very fine parting which is useful where you need the grain to match ie boxes, vases etc.

Crown Tools Dovetail Cutting Tool
In 2001 Stiles and Bates ground some of their 1/2'' scrapers to this profile for a course they were running.
Crown Tools followed suit so you lovely people can also benefit from S&B's innovation.
So this is not a new idea but from what Dave Bates has shared with us, this tool is more useful than other dovetail tools as it will cut both internal and external dovetails on bowls...
