[crw-talk] Crack in handle

[Bob R]

Bob,
Now that's a wonderful example of exemplar service. I've never purchased from Packard but will check em out. I have a, maybe 3/4" Crown Ellsworth sig bowl gouge, purchased between 2009-2012? One of 1st tools I purchased. Didn't know a gouge from a scraper then.  Excellent shape, hardly any wear, mostly because I don't know to effectively sharpen to the Ellsworth grind. That tool is one BA tool, a beast! 
Thanks for sharing your experience.
