How big is your skew?

[bnoles]

For those who use the skew for turning pens, I would be curious to see which size is most popular and comfortable.

Which one?
I have 7.

1/4" round, 3/8" round, 3/8" flat, 1/2" flat, 3/4" flat, 1" flat, 1" curved, 1-1/4" oval.
Opps, Thats 8

Depending on my mood at the time, I do use them all for pens

I think I have 14 or 15 skews but the ones I use the most are a pair of old craftsman carbon steel skews 1/2" & 1" For some reason these take an edge like no other skew I own. I keep them in reserve for that "final pass"

I have a 3/4 that I use mostly...but I also have a 1/4", 1/2" and a 1".

Bragger[] I only have three 1/2" 3/4" and 1" but I find myself always picking up the 3/4".

I'm with everyone else, I have 4, 1/2" oval, 3/4" radiused, 1" and 1 1/2". I mainly use the 3/4" and 1 1/2" (for smoothing out curves).

I use my Kryo 1/2" skew from Henry Taylor for turning my pens. This is a wonderful skew. I also have 1/4", 3/4", and 1 1/2" skews, but I use my 1/2" for pens.

Thread title is a little personal[}]

I use 1/2" for finish work and 1" for roughing... just beginning to use the skew steadily...
