Bowl gouges same as fingernail gouges?
SWMBO has offered to buy some turning tools for my birthday. I'm just getting into bowl turning. Are fingernail gouges (which I see mentioned in some tutorials) the same as a bowl gouge? I don't expect to do anything over about 8 inch in diameter on my little lathe. What two or three gouges or sizes would be good to start with?
Thanks
The "fingernail" term can also.....
... be applied to other tools like scrapers, etc. It is a shape rather than a specific tool.
