I have purchased over 150 of the Ashley Iles carving tools from Tools For Working Wood. I find these tools to be far superior to anything else on the market. And,Tools For Working Wood's customer service and prompt shipment to be excellent!

re: Tools came filled with sand and marred
By: Joel (Oct, 2021)
Jake,
I am sorry that the tools had some debris in the cases. It is not typical and it sounds like the sizes you ordered are not common and consequently probably sat in the warehouse longer than usual.
I am the manufacturer of this product.
Tools came filled with sand and marred
By: Jacob (Oct, 2021)
Purchased 7 tools which is a lot of money, and which I needed to use immediately. All came in Ashley Iles pouches filled with sand and debris. The steel and ferrules were marred. They're obviously been like that for a while. I've never experienced a purchase like this before in my life. Really unfortunate. Obviously won't be returning because I've honed the blades.

Fully satisfied, and I want more of these carving tools!
By: Larry (Oct, 2018)
I have three gouges so far and am very satisfied with balance, weight, shape and especially the finish on both handle and shaft. Holds a keen edge well, too. I am about to order fishtail gouges and, like Shai mentioned earlier, I do wish there were more photos as examples. How much splay will there be? True fishtail, partial? I will trust Ashly Iles and expect excellent quality again.

european sizes & pictures
By: Shai (Jan, 2018)
Hello, I am from Israel. i've heard very good reviews about the Ashley Iles chisels. It would help me as a costumer to have the european sizes along with the american ones, and also pictures of the chisels will help.
Thanks and have a good day
The Best Available

I own about 20 of these full size Ashley Iles carving tools now and I simply can't think there are any better tools out there on the market. These tools are traditional, solid with lots of steel and a substantial beech handle. Of the other brands I'm familiar with, Henry Taylor is trending towards removing as much metal from their tools as they can get away with, Flexcut is just, well Flexcut and Pfiel is expensive. Once you compare prices with Pfiel, Taylor, Dastra and Two Cherries, you realize what a bargain these Ashley Iles are.

Love these.

I ordered a set based on Mary May's school tool recommendations. They are fantastic, showed up razor sharp, and were shipped out to me very quickly. I'll definitely buy more of these and will continue to order tools from toolsforworkingwood.
