I think the tool set should be called "longneck 5s".

I bought the set already so I don't need to win another set. I don't know about boxes, but it sure has changed for the better the way I turn goblets. Nice smooth controlled way of taking out the wood on the inside. I've been turning end grain walnut, does a great job, no tear out, very little tool marks to sand. Here's the inside of a goblet I turned today; this is before sanding.

Done

It's at the end. The first half shows the #1 Hunter cutter used in a home made swiveling Jamieson style holder.

Thank you to the WoodCentral turning community for the many names suggested during this tool naming contest.

The winner of the contest is Byron Mason who was first to suggest the name Badger Series or small vessel burrowing / hollowing. The # 5 Straight and # 5 Swan feature a 5/8" diameter shank tapering down to hold a # 3 cutter so you can extend further over the rest without vibration and chatter. They are ideal for hollowing and then smoothing out those deeper vessels, undercuts, and boxes.

Three others suggested the name Badger. They are John Kaner, Benny Floyd, and Hayes Rutherford.

To amend the rules slightly:

Byron wins The Badger Set of both tools

John, Benny, and Hayes will win your choice of either the Badger Straight or the Badger Swan Tool

Please send a note with your selection and shipping address.

Congratulations to all.

Fantastic, now I can order my Badger swan neck tool, seriously missing from my collection!

We don't need no stinkin' badgers?
