Shaper Tip Handle

This handle is a really nice simple design that works well with my shaper tips and is the one that I use and have for many years. A great product at a great price!

Gouger Blades

A word about Blades. The two most critical components in any gouger are the Guide and the Blade.  The apex or peak of the curve is paramount.  There really is no one size fits all. This is the area that I continue to develop and manufacture many prototypes to find curves that produce the best results for different styles of reed making and playing.

The "E" blade. This is a very close 1918 copy that I currently use for all of my reeds and sampler cane sent out. 
It is more or less a classic double radius curve design. 
​

       The "F" blade. With the Graf guide copy this combination creates a strong gouge with thicker sides.
Picture
The B blade is another curved blank with a radius of 4.7 and requires additional finishing to be suitable for the double radius machine. Due to the wide curve it yields a softer weaker gouge.

​                                                                       
Picture
The single radius blade is sharpened and needs no additional work. The curve is based on a 4.5mm radius at the top. This blade will only work with the Roy single radius gouger.
