Professional 3mm veiner with deep U-shaped profile. Perfect for creating narrow grooves, adding fine details, carving hair and fur texture, and working in tight spaces where larger tools won’t fit.
The Schaaf Tools 3mm Veiner (Sweep #11) features the deepest curve profile in traditional gouge numbering, creating a tight U-shape that's perfect for fine detail work. This narrow, deeply curved tool excels at creating pronounced grooves, adding texture, and working in confined spaces where broader gouges would be impractical.
At just 3mm wide, this veiner is your precision instrument for intricate carving. It removes wood efficiently despite its small size, thanks to the deep sweep that scoops out material in a single pass. The narrow width makes it ideal for adding details like eyelashes, fine hair strands, decorative lines in jewelry, or texture in small carved flowers.
Made from alloy chromium-vanadium steel hardened to Rockwell C60, this professional-grade veiner maintains a sharp edge even through detailed, repetitive work. The octagonal ash wood handle provides excellent control for the precise movements this tool demands. Despite its delicate appearance, it's built to withstand regular use when properly maintained.
