turner's chisel

Turner's chisel is a specialized woodworking tool used for shaping and smoothing wood, particularly on lathe projects. It features a sharp, beveled cutting edge designed to carve away thin shavings of wood as the workpiece rotates on a lathe. These chisels are essential for creating detailed patterns, fine finishes, and precise contours in woodturning. Typically made from high-quality steel for durability, a turner's chisel is held at an angle to control the amount of material removed, allowing woodworkers to achieve smooth, refined surfaces with accuracy and control.
