Gouges

Gouges are tools or features used to remove or shape material by carving out a groove or notch. In manufacturing and woodworking, a gouge is a curved cutting instrument that helps create detailed, rounded, or hollow features in wood, metal, or other materials. The term can also describe the physical dents or deep scratches caused by a sharp object or impact. Overall, gouges facilitate precise material removal and shaping, whether for artistic carving, industrial production, or damage assessment.
