Bevel in or bevel out

[Bruce]

      Perhaps if I were more like Sherlock Holmes my sluething would more successful.  And in search of that end I send this inquiry out to you folks. 

      All the tool supply houses I visit lack chisel gouges that have what is known as "in-channel" bevels:  bevels on the inside radius of the gouge.  All I see are the opposite, "out-channel" gouges.  So where can one find a source for in-channel gouges?

If you want the "in channel" bevel you will usually have to do it yourself. Grind the blade back past the outside bevel and then do the in channel bevel with a small round file and stone. It really is very simple, just time consuming.

I saw a nice one the other day at an antique store.  So keep those places in mind.

In-gouges are pretty rare.  Few people want them.  Hard to sharpen.  And only a few places where one might be found advantageous.

It will likely take a little more work than switching the side of the bevel on an existing gouge if you choose that route.  The concave surface is often formed much more precisely and finely that the convex side.  You would likely have to re-form the convex surface to some degree and of course finish the surface so it can be polished to a sharp edge.

As Chris said, they are rare and there is a good reason for it, the in channel bevel tends to dig in and is difficult to control. I did one and will not make another, can't for the life of me remember why I did it in the first place.....

If you are wanting "new" try traditionalwoodworker.com. They carry the
Henry Taylor line of in-cannel chisels. Check out the two cherries line of chisels also, though theirs aren't a paring gouge like the Henry Taylor's.
You can find quite a few on e-bay also. Try using a search like"buck wood
chisels". The old stock buck chisels were favorites of New England pattern
makers. There are quite a few out there now.

Ron Ehlert used an incannel gouge ...mainly for inletting locks.

Best,
John.
