This is a large, 1970's Rockwell spindle gouge, 3/4". It has a very long, low bevel factory ground (26 degrees). Sparked by John Lucas' suggestion, I tried my hand at putting a secondary bevel on it, hopefully to make it easier to use (it's very aggressive, at my skill level, impossible to use). So, the added small bevel at the tip is at 33 degrees (picture is deceptive, it measures out though).
Is this the generally the right idea?
