And after the beading tool (which makes ¼ inch beads) I break out the #11-¼ gouge to break things apart. It starts with the gouge parallel to the surface, straddling the bead, then rocking up to round the end. The corners of the gouge are rounded to prevent it digging in too deeply. #woodcarving #decoration
