A good 1 inch or 25mm wide curved carving gouge by ASHLEY ILES.

Usually marked 'ASHLEY ILES LTD MADE IN ENGLAND' on the top of the blade however this has worn off.

The sweep number is also gone however this gouge is a good match to a London pattern No.15 sweep.

Good beech wood handle with brass ferrule.

No previous owner's stamps.

Some minor surface spots, please see images.  

12 inches (305mm) overall length.
