Auriou & Pfeil: The essentials
Expertise, precision and professional standards. At Gaignard Millon, we offer you two essential references for woodworking: Auriou, French manufacturer of hand-stitched rasps and rifflers since 1856, and Pfeil, Swiss specialist in carving tools since 1902. Auriou represents French craftsmanship excellence. Each rasp is handmade in the Tarn region of France, with teeth individually chiseled to guarantee perfect control of the material and an impeccable finish, without tearing the wood fibers. These tools are invaluable to sculptors, cabinetmakers, luthiers, and model makers. Among the iconic models are the chair rasp, ideal for working curves and contoured shapes; the tapered rasp, perfect for hard-to-reach areas; and the riffler rasp, a hybrid tool for precisely shaping flat or rounded surfaces. Pfeil, for its part, embodies Swiss excellence in service to sculptors. Forged from high-quality steel, Pfeil tools offer long-lasting sharpness, remarkable precision, and comfortable ergonomics. Their range includes gouges, chisels, and clamps suited to all types of sculpture: from detailed work to deep carving, with complete control of the hand. Choosing Auriou & Pfeil means choosing tools built to last, designed for craftspeople who strive for perfection and quality. Available in store and at gaignard-millon.com.
