Default Dockyard Gouges

Here's a couple of my Dockyard tools reworked, Steve Brown has a pattern for a handle simular to Harmons, these I made and then carved a face on them.

Mark, that is an awesome idea ! I love my Dockyards but not a big fan of the thin handle, I will have to give your idea a try. Nice job on the carving also.

Hi Mark,

Those are really nice faces. They've got such character in their faces.

May I ask you what colors you used for their faces. I have a Santa I would like to paint and if I could get it half as nice as yours I would be happy.
