This Henry Taylor sculpture tools review covers the wood sculpture tools
produced by Henry Taylor Tools of Sheffield, England.
The Henry Taylor sculpture tool range consists of 11 different tools
which include a variety of allongee chisels/gouges, a 'V' tool, a spoon
tool and two curved tools.
These well made tools are made using traditional skills and are made
purely from British materials which includes the tools being made with
Sheffield steel.
With the combination of good steel and the steel being heat treated
using an advanced treatment, the blade's keep a very good edge.
The blades are hand forged just like the best of the old carving tools to ensure
that each individual tool has the best metallurgical qualities combined with a
correctly shaped blade.
The tools are each fitted with a heavy duty Ash handle which has a leather washer
shock absorber and a steel ferrule at either end. The purpose of the ferrules are
to help prevent the handle from splitting-out.
The ferrule at the striking end is particularly a useful feature, one which is advantageous
in this slightly more intensive line of carving.
Each of the Henry Taylor sculpture tools are made to the exacting standards of the
Henry Taylor 'Acorn' brand and are given an 'Acorn' sticker to reflect this quality.
The 'Acorn' mark represents an instantly recognised world renowned brand made by
Henry Taylor Tools since 1834.

"Just stumbled across your website and an absolute treasure trove of information.
I was recently given an old Stanley 110 block plane and wanted to know more about it.
Your website told me everything I needed to know.
But there is so much more to read. I forsee me spending a lot of time just reading
page after page. I can appreciate how much time this will have taken to put together.
I just wanted to let you know that your hard work is appreciated."
