Professional 15mm sweep #11 veiner with very deep U-shaped curve. Creates bold, pronounced grooves and channels. Perfect for dramatic texture, hair details, and deep decorative lines.
The Schaaf Tools 15mm Sweep #11 Veiner takes the deeply curved U-shape profile and scales it up to a wider format for more dramatic effects. At 15mm (approximately 5/8") wide, this veiner creates bold, pronounced grooves that add texture, dimension, and visual interest to your carvings. The deep #11 sweep removes wood aggressively in a single pass, creating the kind of strong shadow lines that make carvings pop.
This wider veiner is particularly valuable when you need to establish texture or details at a scale that matches larger carved elements. Use it for carving flowing hair on life-sized busts, creating bold decorative borders, adding texture to large relief panels, or carving deep channels for dramatic effect. The 15mm width makes these tasks efficient while the deep sweep ensures each cut is distinctive and well-defined.
Crafted from alloy chromium-vanadium steel hardened to Rockwell C60, this veiner stands up to the demanding work of deep grooving. The very deep sweep requires careful sharpening technique — covered in our included video tutorials — but rewards you with the ability to create dramatic effects quickly. The octagonal ash wood handle provides the control needed for these bold, pronounced cuts.
