Notes and recommendations
Notes and recommendations
-Wash by hand with water removing all clay or mud, towel dry and leave to air dry.
-Do not leave your tools submerged in water or soaked.
-When using the tool on the lathe, you can submerge it in the water in the basin to clean it but then leave it out, do not leave it floating.
-Do not use chemicals or abrasives.
-Apply mineral oil and beeswax ointment or other special wood oil occasionally.
-For occasional maintenance you can use very fine sandpaper 320+ and ointments or special natural oils for wood, let the product dry 24h before use.
-If at any time you notice that the wood is rougher than you like after the first use or at later times, you can gently sand the surface with fine sandpaper 320+ and reapply protection for a smoother finish to the touch. This aspect does not affect the proper functioning of the tool.
-The final product may have slight variations in color and wood grain due to the use of a natural raw material.
The essential foundation for hollow forms: meet the VE1.
The VE1 is a specialized shaping tool made specifically for the creation of bowls, cups, and curved pots. I designed this tool with a double-sided curved shape to act as a professional guide for both inside and outside shaping. Its two different curved edges allow you to move easily between fixing the inside belly of a bowl and smoothing the outer shape of a cup.
This tool is a master of fixing shapes and cleaning surfaces. Its balanced curves are ideal for pressing the clay, ensuring steady wall thickness and smooth moves from the base to the rim. The VE1 also works as a precision instrument for removing extra wet clay and leveling the surface, providing a clean look that improves the natural shape of your pot.
Hand-crafted in my workshop from strong wood, the VE1 features a center hole. This point provides a secure, non-slip grip, giving you the total control needed to keep steady pressure against the spinning clay for a perfectly even and balanced finish.
Why is the VE1 so useful?
Dual-curve shape Features two special curved sides designed to shape the inside and outside of bowls and cups with ease.
Vessel shaper specialist The perfect tool for defining the curve of hollow shapes and ensuring smooth, continuous lines.
Technical surface refiner Efficiently cleans surfaces and manages wet clay while pressing the clay to make it stronger.
Tactile ergonomic grip The finger hole offers the best feel and precise control over the angle of the tool.
Artisan wood build Made from durable wood, hand-sanded to a very smooth finish to ensure it moves easily over the clay.
Simple for hollow shapes It is the foundation of every successful bowl or cup, becoming the first tool you reach for every time you work on the wheel.
