Do any of you use inside bevel gouges for carving the scroll? _________________ "I only write the notes as written, it is god that creates the music." J.S. Bach |

My opinion is that aside from shaping the corner blocks, inside-bevel gouges are totally useless for everything. |

my boss/ friend has a saying,
you can use your teeth as long as you get the proper results!
inside bevel gouge might not be the best to carve a scroll but it will work as long as you are familiar with, adn can controll your tool.
I recently used an inside bevel gouge recently to help fit a partial block replacement on a double bass.
that being said, I have never used one on a scroll. |

And I bet that in spite of saying that, your friend does NOT use his teeth to carve violins. |
