They certainly do look like gouges for turning wood on a lathe... Something to do with making or shaping clay, you say? Jean

Jean, I didn't say. That's for you to guess at. lol
I suppose they could be used for turning wood, but that's not their real purpose.

Sorry, I missed your post about looming, but the answer would have been nope.

Okay, just covering my bases here... You want the NAME and the use. They are called "spoons" for metal spinning, and they are used for shaping metal into curved shapes, (like bowls, airplane nose cones), stuff like that, while a flat piece of metal is spun, in a craft called metal spinning. The tools bend it while it while it's spinning. Jean

They look like they're meant to be used delicately. No places to hammer on it, no rust, no gouges, no mechanical attachment points. Odd.

Well, as delicately as the job requires. The short one is 12-1/2" long, and the long one is 22".
