Acorn Standard Tools
Our extensive range of professional carving tools
These professional carving tools come with a uniform black non-reflective finish on the outside, and a straw-coloured ground surface on the inside.
Straight Tools
| Product Ref. | Description |
| 3701 | Straight Chisels Straight cutting edge with a rounded bevel on either side. The wider tools have the advantage of not splitting wood along the grain that may occur with a flat chisel. |
| 3702 | Straight Skew Chisels Skewed cutting edge to facilitate cutting into very sharp corners. |
| 3703 - 3711 | Straight Gouges The most commonly used carving tools, gouges are suitable for heavy stock removal or cutting grooves or 'C' cuts when used vertically. They range from a very shallow curve across the blade (3703) through to very deep 'U' sections (3711). |
| 3739 (60°) 3741 (45°) 3745 (90°) | Straight V Parting Tools Available in 3 different angles (90°, 60° & 45°), these parting tools are used mainly for cutting 'V' grooves and outlining letter work. |
curved Tools
| Product Ref. | Description |
| 3712 - 3720 | Curved Gouges Curved along the length to facilitate cutting in recesses, inside bowls and curves etc. They range from a very shallow curve across the blade (3712) through to very deep 'U' sections (3720) |
| 3740 (60°) 3742 (45°) 3746 (90°) | Curved V Parting Tools The same as the straight V tools but curved along the length |
spoon bent Tools
| Product Ref. | Description |
| 3721 | Spoon Chisels Specifically designed for carving in awkward spots, the tool form is confined to a short spoon-like bent area on the end of the shank. |
| 3722 (LH) 3723 (RH) | Spoon Skew Chisels Due to the curvature of the bowl end of the tool, it is necessary to offer the skew chisels in both left and right handed forms. |
| 3724 - 3732 | Spoon Gouges The same as the straight gouges but able to reach inside tight curves. They range from a very shallow curve across the blade (3724) through to very deep 'U' sections (3732). |
| 3743 (60°) 3744 (45°) | Spoon V Parting Tools Available in 2 different angles (60° & 45°) |
back bent Tools
| Product Ref. | Description |
| 3733 - 3738 | Back Bent Gouges Very similar to the Spoon Bent Tools, except the bent end of the tool is reversed or upside down. They range from a very shallow curve across the blade (3733) through to very deep 'U' sections (3738). |
fishtail Tools
| Product Ref. | Description |
| 5001 | Fishtail Chisels Straight shank which widens out progressively to the cutting edge resembling a fish's tail. The benefit of these tools is that the shank does not interfere when cutting deeper areas and visibility is improved. |
| 5002 | Fishtail Skew Chisels Skewed cutting edge to enable cutting into corners. |
| 5003 - 5011 | Fishtail Gouges They range from a very shallow curve across the blade (5003) through to very deep 'U' sections (5011). |
long pod Tools
| Product Ref. | Description |
| 3761 | Long Pod Chisels Similar to the Fishtails, but the cutting form is taken further back down the shank. |
| 3762 | Long Pod Skew Chisels Same as the Long Pod chisel but with a skewed cutting edge. |
| 3763 - 3771 | Long Pod Gouges They Range from a very shallow curve across the blade (3763) through to very deep 'U' sections (3771). |
allongee Tools
| Product Ref. | Description |
| 3791 | Allongee Chisels Similar to Fishtail and Long Pods but without the parallel shank - the cutting form tapering back to the bolster. Robust tools for heavy work that allow cutting without damaging the foreground. |
| 3792 | Allongee Skew Chisels Skewed cutting edge to facilitate cutting into sharp corners. |
| 3793 - 3799 | Allongee Gouges They range from a very shallow curve across the blade (3793) through to very deep 'U' sections (3799). |
