thanks for response, I have permission from land owner to collect as woods are owned by livery yard owner where we keep our horse!
With regard to sharpening, i have touched up the "straight chisels " on a fine oil stone but not really sure how to sharpen gouges as one of the seams to be at a strange angle (not symmetrical). I have a sharpening system for other chisels and drill bits but further advice would be most welcome.
