The Thompson 3/8th bowl gouge is the one most turners reach for first. It's the workhorse of the bowl gouge range — large enough to remove material efficiently on roughing cuts, nimble enough to handle the finishing passes that leave a clean, sanded-ready surface.

The U-shaped flute gives a full radius across the cutting edge, which produces a true shearing cut rather than a scraping action. 

The 13mm shank fits the Simon Hope handle system on both grub screw and quick release handles.
