In another post where someone had tear out on an acrylic piece I mentioned that I use an Ashley Iles Martin Pidgen all rounder which acted as spindle gouge skew and even bowl gouge and Penpal wanted to know the grind so with apologies for the quality of the photos and not wanting to hijack the other thread.
The grind is 45 degrees shown below. The gouge on the left is a brand new one to replace the shorter one which has the long side grind (a bit like the Ellsworth grind), the shorter one has now done 8 years being sharpened on a tormek most days, hence the need for a new one and it is probably the tool I use most. I regrind the bevel on the edge to use it as a bowl gouge just by 1 mm. While using it on a pen blank it serves as roughing gouge then spindle gouge and as I get to each end I roll it over to become a skew. Hope that's what you wanted Penpal.
