The shape of the Robert Sorby swan neck hollowing tools makes them ideal for blind turning or under cutting where reach is restricted.
The 24" version is produced from a substantial section steel, making it more suitable for both end grain and side grain working. These tools are used by placing the round bar of the tool shank (directly behind the swan neck) against the tool rest.
Pictured with the group of Swan Neck Hollowing Tools, this is the larger of these tools.
