It is a 1/8inch gouge tool, but I made it into something more like a fingernail tool by grinding. I just copied the shape of one of my larger fingernail gouges. With a tool that small in section, it needs support close to the cutting edge, because I find mine prone to chatter unless the rest is set close in. I would be inclined to fix it in a 5/8inch sleeve machined with a tapered nose.
I can also highly recommend the Drozda Finial Gouge, which takes things a stage further. Cuts beautifully when used by hand. You can buy one here: http://www.cindydrozda.com/html/Tool_Info.html but I bought the DVD which shows you how to make one (too far away for the expensive carriage on the tool to make sense). There is a youTube video around which shows much the same thing, I think. There used to be a clip on the Drozda site, as I recall.
