Ashley Iles 3/4' Skew Chisel
19mm 3/4" handled skew chisel by Ashley Iles.
These tools have carbon steel blades, not HSS that you would find in the turning tools we offer from the likes of Hamlet and Robert Sorby. Carbon steel is preferable on a pole lathe because it will give you a finer edge, but more critically it is easier to sharpen if you are away from the power grid. So this skew chisel is designed with the pole...

Usually, the axe had a thinner edge for...

Instead, Moxon (1627-1691) was a printer, a maker of mathematical instruments and (for a time) hydrographer to King Charles II.
Oh, and the engravings of woodworking tools in...
