Signature Jamieson Grind Bowl Gouge – Unhandled
A masterpiece in woodturning craftsmanship designed by Lyle Jamieson in collaboration with Doug Thompson. This exceptional tool, made exclusively for Jamieson and his students, is supported by the expertise of two dedicated toolmakers. Proudly manufactured in the USA, this bowl gouge represents the pinnacle of woodturning tools.
Unmatched Steel Quality
Crafted from the finest tool steel available, this gouge features a 5/8” diameter shaft made of triple-tempered CPM 10V steel. It undergoes a rigorous cryogenic treatment process and is hardened to 62-64 Rockwell along its entire length, offering durability and longevity unmatched by any other tool on the market. Unlike conventional measurements that focus on the flute’s width, Jamieson’s design emphasizes the shaft’s size, providing a more accurate description and ensuring superior performance.
Innovative Flute Design
The Signature Jamieson Grind Bowl Gouge boasts a unique flute configuration that sets it apart from traditional designs. With a 12-inch length and a 7-inch long flute, it features a wider, parabolic shape that ensures easier, safer, and more controlled cuts. This innovative design allows for unparalleled control over the tool, making woodturning more intuitive and enjoyable.

At the heart of this tool’s excellence is the Jamieson grind, the most versatile grind available today. Capable of performing all four cuts outlined in Jamieson’s “Bowl Basics-The Easy Way” DVD, this grind embodies a “keep-it-simple” philosophy that simplifies the woodturning process. Its unique subtleties and fatter sweet spot differentiate it from other grinds, facilitating easier control and more precise cuts. This gouge is not available in any catalog, making it a unique addition to any woodturner’s toolkit.
