Pictured below are Sorby 1/2" and 3/8" bowl gouges from a local woodturner's estate, for sale. The half-inch is pictured with a new D-Way for comparison. They are high speed steel, and most likely an older version, as the Sorby/HSS markings are light. A forum member has already purchased the 5/8" from this set, and it had clearer markings. The original owner's name is barely visible also, does not show unless you look closely. Price is $45 each plus shipping by PayPal. Diagram is of the flute shape. [PS: These were ground rather odd to my taste. If the buyer is a newbie, I'm happy to re-grind them]

Gouges are as shown, un-handled. They fit fine in D-Way handles, I don't know what other handles would work. The D-Way have a simple bore.
