Woodturning Tools

Catalog Overview

There is a long tradition with woodturning tools.  Around 3,000 years old !  While we here at Hilton Handcraft of the Ozarks don't date quite nearly that far back, we do make some very traditional tools for woodturners.

Of course, the tradition is that woodturners would make their own tools for their own special needs.  We don't all make the same things so our tools should reflect that individuality, too.  But, very few turners have the equipment such as a forge or the knowledge and skills to be a tool-maker.  That's where we can help.  Not only are we woodturners, ourselves, but we also have the ability to create tools for you.

Tools for woodturning

WTT-MiniScorp
Mini Scorp Tool

This is one of those tools that a woodturning master had next to his lathe all of the time. It was the unsung hero and workhorse of generations of turners but is seldom, if ever, seen today.  We've brought it back!

The hardened, polished steel "hook" of this tool is 1.5" long.  The comfortable and strong wooden handle make it 7" long total. Comes with brass ferrule and choice of woods for the handle.

The unique hook design of this scorp is useful for large radius' and very small ones too.  Just adjust how you hold the tool for the radius you're needing to work.

Please specify wood (Ash, Walnut, Cherry) and Left or Right-handed.

Comes as a set (as pictured) or individually.  The hook portion of the tool is polished but the rest of the shaft looks like an old-tyme tool.

Lots of sizes and types listed below but we will work with you to create the perfect hook tool for your needs.
