They have definitely changed their tune since I purchased that gouge from Highland. When I got mine, they had Paul’s video embedded on the product page for that gouge.
I have only limited experience with the gouge and spoon carving, but I’d say if you are gentle with it and keep a good edge, then you shouldn’t run into any problems.

26 February 2019 at 9:58 pm #555418Hi @usagrown. I recently started down the same road of working on the dovetail boxes. I’m new to the craft, so this seemed like a good place to start after I finished my bench. I have the same problem, but I happened upon this article on resawing by hand from a trusted source of hand-toolery. My first attempt was a little rough, but that was on a practice piece. I was able to re-dimension stock down from 3/4 to 1/2 for the sides and a little under 3/8 (maybe 5/16?) for the bottom of the tray using Bill Pavlak’s hand resawing method. Hope this helps if you’re still giving it a go.
