Bobby below is from the picture you posted of your gouge.
The beauty of the side ground gouge is that the bevel angle changes as you move from nose to wing
Your nose bevel angel is 60. The bevel angles at “A” and “B” will be smaller
They will be similar to the bevel angles on the Ellsworth grind.
At Position “A” where I do much of my push cutting has an angle of 45-40 degrees. A smoother cut than using the nose.
At position “B” where I do most of the pull cutting has a bevel angle 30-25.
Often the push cut begins on the nose and once the bevel riding cut is working the tool is rolled to cut in the sweet spot “A”.
