Does anyone know who makes or where to buy in-channel gouges. 1/4″-1/2″. Seem to be a hard tool to find. Could always reverse the bevel on an outchanel I guess but that’s a lot of grinding and honing.

Try Hartville tool.

They're out of stock, but Joel there is quite responsive, and could let you know when they're expected in.
I've found exactly one in years of garage saling, but I find the out-cannel gouges at about one per year - reversing the bevel would take quite a while, I think.
"reversing the bevel would take quite a while, I think."
That depends on what equipment you have and the gouge size... I'd think I could do that on a #5 sweep by 5/8 inch gouge in ten minutes or less with my belt sander, grinder, buffer, and maybe a little work with diamond hones to refine it.
Always lots of vintage ones on eBay in my experience.
http://www.dastrausa.com/Frank Mittermeier We used to get them from pattern supply places like Freeman, etc. Patternmakers used incannel a lot. Patternmaker suppliers are scarece and expensive so converting out cannel may be a simpler and cheaper way. Google will turn up some more sources. Used to get them from gouge company in Germany too.
The Best Things carries the Henry Taylor in- and out-cannel. Including cranked in-cannel.

Note that these are firmer cannel gouges. Once upon a time one could also purchase paring in- or out-cannel gouges. These seem to have gone the way of the dodo.
I have a set of both the in- and out-cannel HT gouges. Pretty decent steel.

I think Brass City Records Has some new old stock Swan sockett chisels gouges in 1/4"
