Japanese Woodblock Tools

This is my set of larger woodblock tools designed to be used with a hammer for extra power in removing wood. The set consists of two Soainomi for shallow cuts, three Asagata Marunomi (a shallow sweep), three Fukagata Marunomi (U-gouge), and a Kento Nomi which sole purpose is for making the traditional registration marks. At the top is a very nice English cabinetmaker's chisel, a shallow sweep. The Japanese tools came from McClain's in Oregon, the leather tool holder from Japan Woodworker in Alameda, CA, and the English sweep from a friend.
