Pfeil Fishtail Carving Tool - If I could have only one tool it would be a #3 fishtail. This is a pro quailty #3 sweep gauge, that is 20mm wide at the cutting edge (20mm=3/4 in). This is a full size wood carving gauge with the slightest amount of curve making it an all around must have. A #3 of any width is great for background fielding, stop cuts and rounding over shapes. Hands down this is one of the most used tools on my bench.

Wood carving mallets are most often distinguished by how much they weigh. I prefer a lighter weight mallet. This is a. 9oz., 10" long mallet is made out of beech wood.
