Cabinetmaker's chisels by Blue Spruce Toolworks
Blue Spruce Toolworks
Cabinetmaker's Dovetail Chisels

The Blue Spruce Toolworks is a small tool manufacturer located in the Pacific Northwest manufacturing what we feel are the finest tools made in this country today. The quality of the Blue Spruce tools is simply superlative. While the Blue Spruce Toolworks product line is still small, it is growing, and everything that the Blue Spruce Toolworks makes is without peer.

It is our estimation that all of the mass-produced chisel available today are too thick to do the best quality dovetails equal to what the great British cabinetmakers once did. The Blue Spruce Toolworks chisels are not mass produced. They are lovingly made, one at a time, by craftspeople, for craftspeople. The Blue Spruce Toolworks dovetail and paring chisels are made to be as thin as possible, with bevels that go right to the edge, for the finest work. With blades made from A-2 steel, and hardened to Rockwell 60, the Blue Spruce Toolworks chisels will hold a razor sharp edge. The Blue Spruce Toolworks chisels are not designed to be struck hard with a mallet. They do not have a bolster and are designed only to be struck lightly for dovetailing or other fine detail work. These are chisels for the master craftsperson, not the botcher.

Blue Spruce Fishtail Dovetailing Chisel
Cocobolo handles with 4 1/4" A-2 steel blades.
Made in USA.
This chisel was specifically designed to clean out the sockets of half-blind dovetails. The thin 3/8" wide blade is tapered back from the edge at an 8:1 ratio to allow side clearance and easy access into the sockets. This is an excellent ratio for dovetails in most woods but especially hardwoods.
