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.
Command large volumes with a single touch: meet the C-XL5.
When your work grows in size, your tools must grow with it. I designed the C-XL5 as a specialized giant tool for potters who need more reach without losing the natural feel of a classic kidney tool. Its long, sweeping curve is made to steady and smooth large-scale walls, allowing you to keep a steady shape on tall cylinders, wide bowls, and big platters.
Hand-crafted in my workshop from premium wood, the C-XL5 features a center finger hole. This single anchor point acts as a pivot, giving you the freedom to tilt and turn the tool easily as you follow the curve of your piece. Despite its large size, it stays lightweight and balanced, providing the pressure needed to make sure your large-scale work stays strong during drying and firing.
Why is the C-XL5 so useful?
Extended shaping surface Designed to cover large areas of clay, preventing the wobbles and bumps that often happen when using smaller tools on big pieces.
Central pivot grip The hole provides a secure, non-slip anchor for your finger, allowing for precise pressure and easy movement.
Artisan wood build Made from select wood that works well with water and moves over the clay without sticking, leaving a professional surface.
Stronger walls Perfect for pressing large walls, helping to make the clay stronger and more reliable for the finished piece.
Simple for large scale It makes throwing big pieces feel much more controlled, helping you reach new sizes in your work with ease.
