Product Overview
Master Carver Chris Pye was extremely pleased with his Auriou lettercarving tools when they were made more readily available!.
It is nevertheless still true that once in a while Auriou's blacksmiths at Forge de Saint Juery still create beautiful carving tools that are light and easy to work with.
These tools are fitted with attractive octagonal ash handles with tapered brass ferules.
There are now 14 tools in Chris Pye's range which is based on a specific font and size (see below).
