Notes and recommendations

Maintenance Recommendations

Wash by hand with water removing all clay or mud, dry with a towel and let air dry.
Do not leave your tools submerged in water or soaked.
When you use the tool on the lathe, you can submerge it in the basin water to clean it but then leave it outside, do not leave it floating.
Do not use chemicals or abrasives.
Do not leave your very wet tools to dry lying on the table or on the plasterboard; it is important to dry them after washing them with the cloth and leave them hanging from the hole or standing upright on their base, but always let air circulate around them so that the wood can expel any remaining water naturally.
Apply mineral oil and beeswax ointment or some other special wood oil occasionally.
For occasional maintenance you can use very fine 240 sandpaper and special natural ointments or oils for wood, allowing the product to dry 24 hours 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 240 sandpaper and reapply protection for a smoother finish to the touch. This aspect does not affect the correct operation of the tool.
The final product may have slight variations in color and wood grain due to the use of a natural raw material.

SAFETY WARNING

Handle with care: Some tools have pointed ends. While they are not sharpened, they can cause skin injury if used or handled improperly.

Professional use: Keep out of reach of children. Use only for pottery purposes.

Unify your largest forms with ease: meet the C-XL4.

The C-XL4 is a professional extra-large tool made for potters who work with medium to large-scale pieces. I designed this tool with a long body that acts as a guide for your clay. Its great length allows you to smooth and shape the entire wall of a vase or tall cylinder in a single, steady move, avoiding the uneven marks that smaller tools often leave behind.

This tool is a master of fixing shapes and cleaning surfaces. Its double-sided design has a gentle curve on one edge and a stronger curve on the other, making it the perfect instrument for shaping both the inside and the outside of large bowls or jars. The C-XL4 works to remove extra wet clay and press the walls to make them stronger and very smooth.

Hand-crafted in my workshop from strong wood, the C-XL4 has two holes. These two points provide a superior, non-slip grip, allowing you to use both hands to apply steady pressure when working with a lot of clay. This ensures your shapes stay perfectly even from the bottom to the top.

Why is the C-XL4 so useful?

Extra-large shaping edge Its long reach is specifically designed for shaping and smoothing large ceramic pieces.

Two-curve versatility Features two different curved edges for fixing a wide range of shapes and inside diameters.

Technical surface refiner Effectively cleans large areas, manages wet clay, and presses walls for professional strength.

Enhanced dual-hole grip Provides the best stability and strength, even when working with heavy clay.

Artisan wood build Made from premium wood, hand-sanded to ensure it moves easily without sticking or marking the clay.

Simple for large pieces It is a heavy-duty specialist that provides the stability you need for big work, making it a tool you won't want to change.
