To use this shallow wood carving gouge, hold the handle firmly in the palm of your right hand to push the tool on the surface of the wood. Then hold the middle part of the handle with your right hand to guide with the carving. In this way, you can have more control of the tool and while preventing the tool from going in different directions when carving the wood. Continue carving until the desired depth of the wood is reached. When the time comes, sharpen the blade using a whetstone or oil stone, preferably one that is designed specifically for use with wood carving tools.

Please note: The blade edge is sharp, keep out of the reach of children. Store without the blade contacting any hard surface to avoid dulling the cutting edge.
