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 ultimate technical detailer for base and form. Meet the D-L4.
The D-L4 is a specialized pottery tool engineered for potters who prioritize the structural finishing of their pieces, especially when defining foot rings and base junctions. Its unique geometry combines a sharp, angular head with a sculpted rounded base, making it a highly effective hybrid between a detailer and a technical spatula.
This tool is a master of shaping foot rings and cleaning bases. The angular tip allows you to undercut clay with precision, while the curved notches at the base are perfectly designed to profile the feet of bowls and cylinders directly on the wheel. As a technical spatula, the D-L4 is ideal for moving clay, refining internal transitions, and managing slip in areas that require high tactile sensitivity.
Hand-crafted in my workshop from high-density, water-resistant timber, the D-L4 is hand-sanded to an artisan glass-smooth finish. Its ergonomic, compact body offers a secure grip, providing the balanced leverage needed for making delicate structural adjustments and professional-grade surface refinements.
Why the D-L4 is a technical essential:
- Specialized Foot Shaper: Features a base designed specifically for undercutting and profiling professional foot rings.
- Technical Spatula Function: Perfect for modeling, moving clay, and refining junctions with artisan control.
- Precision Detailing Tip: Engineered for clean carving and defining sharp lines in the clay body.
- Superior Surface Refinement: Efficiently cleans surfaces and manages slip without leaving tool marks.
- Artisan Hardwood Build: Crafted from durable timber to maintain its technical edges and profiles through years of studio use.
Warning: The D-L4 is the "finisher" of the studio. Its ability to solve complex base junctions and create beautiful feet makes it an indispensable tool for every throwing session.
