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.
Achieve the ultimate fluid silhouette with the V8.
If you are looking for that one tool that can handle almost any rounded form, the V8 is your answer. I designed this rib with a continuous, deep concave curve that allows you to shape everything from elegant breakfast bowls to the generous bellies of large vases. It’s all about creating a flow that feels natural and effortless.
I spend my time in the workshop ensuring the transition of this curve is perfectly smooth. Unlike standard ribs, the V8 is hand-sanded to a finish that glides over the clay, helping you eliminate finger marks and uneven spots in just a few passes. It’s a tool that brings a sense of harmony to your wheel work, making every piece look intentionally balanced.
Why the V8 will be a favorite in your studio:
- Deep Curve Mastery: Perfect for shaping rounded profiles and achieving consistent interior or exterior curves.
- Versatile Sizing: The arc is balanced to work beautifully on both small cups and medium-to-large vessels.
- Pure Artisan Soul: I personally finish every V8 by hand. It’s a wooden tool that feels warm and responsive, becoming more comfortable with every use.
- Built for the Long Haul: Made from high-quality timber treated to withstand the humidity and daily friction of the wheel without losing its edge.
Warning: Using the V8 might make your other curved ribs feel a bit jealous. You may find yourself reaching for this one for every single piece!
