A very colorfull combination! A bench chisel and a "stubby" or butt chisel. The handle of the bench chisel is made of regular Padouk wood. However, the handle of the butt chisel is made of blue colored, resin infused maple wood. The red an blue of the handles gives a nice contrast with the yellow brass ferules. The handles have the typical, tear drop shape which is my signature handle shape. Sets of 4 chisels in different widths will soon be available for sale! Stay tuned!

Once in a while I also make these so called "Stubby Chisels", chisels with the same characteristics as bench chisels but only shorter. Some people prefer them for small delicate work like Kumiko or for work in tight places. The blade length is 75mm (3") with a slightly longer handle. For reference a picture of two chisels I made years ago. These two chisels are fitted with brass ferules and Pau Amerillo handles. Steel: O1 (1.2510), width: 30mm (1 3/16") and 6mm (1/4")

A while ago I finished this custom made paring chisel. The blade length is 180mm (7”), 25mm (1”) wide with a 120mm (3”) long handle. The handturned handle is made from cherry wood, with brass ferule. The handle is slightly longer compared to the handles for my standard paring chisels, by just about 25mm (1”). The steel part is made from O1 tool steel.
