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.
Extended reach with a technical edge. Meet the D-L6.
The D-L6 is a professional-grade detailing rib engineered for potters who work with deep, narrow, or complex hollow forms. Similar in philosophy to the D-L5, I designed this pottery tool with an elongated, slender body to ensure exceptional access to internal zones. What sets the D-L6 apart is its specialized integrated hook at the base, providing a unique technical edge for refining foot rings and clearing excess clay from the bottom of tall vessels.
This tool is a master of structural refinement and technical cleaning. Its smooth, continuous curves allow you to compress internal walls and unify the clay surface from the floor to the rim in a single pass. The D-L6 acts as a precision instrument for removing slip and leveling walls, while the hook allows you to define sharp transitions and undercut profiles with artisan control.
Hand-crafted in my workshop from high-density, water-resistant timber, the D-L6 is hand-sanded to a professional glass-smooth finish. Its ergonomic taper provides a comfortable, high-sensitivity grip, allowing you to feel every nuance of the clay’s resistance even when working deep inside a piece.
Why the D-L6 is a technical essential:
- Integrated Technical Hook: Specifically designed for profiling foot rings, undercutting, and clearing clay in confined spaces.
- Superior Long Reach: Its slender, elongated geometry is ideal for accessing the interior walls of deep cylinders and narrow vases.
- Surface Refinement Specialist: Efficiently cleans surfaces, manages slip, and levels clay bodies for a flawless finish.
- High-Sensitivity Ergonomics: Designed for a secure grip that offers maximum tactile feedback and precise pressure application.
- Artisan Hardwood Build: Crafted from premium timber to maintain its sharp technical profiles through years of intensive studio use.
Warning: The D-L6 is the problem-solver of the studio. Its combination of reach and the specialized hook makes it the ultimate tool for finishing complex deep forms.
