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.
Master the architecture of clay: meet the R1.
The R1 is a specialized precision tool designed for the potter who prioritizes structure and clean lines. I engineered this tool with a long straight edge that serves as a perfect vertical reference point, making it very important for throwing tall cylinders or stabilizing the walls of large pieces. Its sharp profile allows you to remove extra wet clay and press the walls with even pressure, resulting in a shape that is both strong and smooth.
Hand-crafted in my workshop from strong wood, the R1 is built to handle daily work. The finger hole is positioned to give you a balanced point of control, ensuring that the tool stays true to your shape even when the clay is heavy. Whether you are making a clean bottom corner or a long straight slope, the R1 provides the artisan control needed for high-quality ceramic work.
Why is the R1 so useful?
Long straight edge Provides a continuous guide for straightening walls and achieving perfect vertical lines.
Base definition Ideal for cleaning up the spot where the pot meets the wheel with great precision.
Ergonomic stability Features a center grip hole for a secure, non-slip hold that helps your hand stay relaxed during long sessions.
Professional artisan finish Hand-sanded to be very smooth to prevent dragging or marking your clay surface.
Simple for sharp lines It helps you create very clean and professional shapes, giving your pottery a strong and structured look.
