  1. Excellent tool and great customer service

    Posted by ALLEN MATTSEN on Apr 9th 2021

    The tool was well packaged, shipped promptly, and arrived in perfect condition. I love the polished flute and everything about the tool, really. Excellent edge, came perfectly sharp, and ready to use. Stays sharp a very long time. Highly recommend! Absolutely one of the best companies to buy woodturning tools from. Also picked up the bottom bowl gouge and 1-5/16" Negative Rake Scraper, as well. I'll be buying more tools from D-Way again very soon.

  3. Best Bowl Gouge

    Posted by Bill Housley on Apr 5th 2021

    One day I decided I would try a “U” shaped bowl gauge so I picked an old thing I had around from Penn State. It worked really well. I also decided I did not like the 40/40 grind so I switched to a 55 degree grind and liked it better. Then I decided I’d like a new tool so I bought a Thompson gouge just like the one from Penn State that I liked. Well,….. I liked the Penn State tool better. Then I decided to try several other manufacturers’ similar tools. I tried the OneWay tool and the D-way tool. All with 55 degree grinds. D-way out performs all the others.

    That’s my opinion and I’m sticking to it.

  4. Lives up to hype

    Posted by Christopher Burns on Nov 19th 2020

    The edge retention is as good as advertised and these tools stay very sharp much longer than the other tools in my shop.


  5. My Favorite Tool

    Posted by Skip Richardson on Oct 10th 2020

    This is my 2nd D-Way half inch gouge. I love the metal as it seems dense & stays sharp. It really holds an edge after other steels seem to lose theirs. I use this gouge for nearly every cut I need to make - pull, push, shear, and scrape. It is my "go-to" gouge!


  6. Excellent tool

    Posted by Paul on Sep 6th 2020

    Great response to questions and fast delivery.


  7. Quality product that holds an edge.

    Posted by Unknown on Jul 27th 2020

    This has become my go-to bowl gouge! It holds a sharp edge and yields predictable cuts. A very quality product that I would highly recommend.


  8. Best of the Best

    Posted by Johnny Singer on May 24th 2020

    My go to tool. I turn bowls for cancer charity and this tool really helps the cause.. By far best gouge I own.


  9. More that expected.

    Posted by Byrle Brunton on Apr 20th 2020

    I was accustomed to using a very large bowl gouge in a very large handle.
    This has provided the utility and the performance that I was lacking. As with all D-Way and Boxmaster tools and accessories, it's an over achiever.


  10. Incredible tool

    Posted by Matt Burke on Apr 5th 2020

    This is a beautifully finished tool and incredibly sharp. I’m just learning how to use the tool, shear scraping is a dream and leaves a very smooth surface.
