Not the second Sorby gouge yet. This is a third, bigger gouge. I wanted to try a different style handle, a double tapered octagon. This time ash, not beech. Took the tinted oil much differently. More blond. A brass ferrule would look better here.

I wanted the knot on top, but had the handle taped when sinking tang, forgot, and… got it wrong! Pissed me off. Tang hole is also slightly off center. Also pissed me off.

But handle feels good. I like this form better.
