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.
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.
