Negative rake scraper
The tool is extremely high quality and performs like a dream. Carter and Son tool works is a pleasure to work with. They treat their customers like family and always live up to their word to deliver high quality service. Thanks to all that work there.

Negative Rake with custom grind
I’ve been turning wood since I took shop class at the age of 13. Now, at 69, I’ve used many brands of turning tools over the years. I tried a Carter and Son Toolworks gouge and absolutely loved it. Today, I own 10 of their tools and will only use them. They’re simply the highest quality and the best I’ve ever used.
