Professional 10mm sweep #11 veiner with very deep U-shaped curve. Perfect for detailed hair texture, decorative grooves, and creating pronounced lines in relief and sculpture carving.
The Schaaf Tools 10mm Sweep #11 Veiner delivers the characteristic deep U-shaped profile in a medium width that's perfect for detailed work. At 10mm (approximately 3/8") wide, this veiner creates well-defined grooves and textures without being so narrow that the work becomes tedious or so wide that you lose control in detailed areas.
The #11 sweep represents the deepest traditional gouge curve, creating a tight U-shape that removes wood in a single, clean scoop. This makes it invaluable for adding texture like hair, fur, feathers, or wood grain effects. The 10mm width is particularly versatile — narrow enough for detailed work on portraits and figures, yet wide enough to be efficient when adding texture to larger areas.
Made from alloy chromium-vanadium steel hardened to Rockwell C60, this veiner maintains a sharp edge through repetitive texturing work. The deep profile creates distinctive shadow lines that add life and dimension to your carvings. Whether you're working on relief panels, sculptures, or decorative elements, this veiner gives you the ability to add details that would be nearly impossible with shallower gouges. The octagonal ash handle provides comfortable control for the precise work this tool demands.
