The description from our main Veritas Section, where this retails new for £57.45

4 Ray Iles Mortise Chisels [Preowned, SOLD]
Very little used these are very well made mortise chisels by legendary English tool maker Ray Iles.
These do not find their way on the market very often as they are not any easy tool to make and Ray tends to send his production to Tools for Working Wood in the USA.

Woodpeckers 600mm Edge Rule [Preowned, As New, SOLD]

EIGHT Henry Taylor Straight Carving Gouges [Clearance, SOLD]
New current stock - a straight carving gouge bundle!
Ok – we overstocked through our enthusiasm to promote this great British brand and then Henry Taylor slimmed down their overall offering of carving tools, so we decided to concentrate our future investment in woodcarving hand tools in Swiss maker Pfeil and USA maker Flexcut. No crying here but we are trying to get these remaining new tools...
