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.
The P4 is a professional wooden paddle made for the potter who needs a versatile, medium-sized tool for shaping. I designed this paddle to sit exactly between the wide P1 and the narrow P5, offering a balanced surface that works beautifully on everything from small cups to medium pitchers. It is the ideal tool for gently turning a round shape into a soft square or for pressing the walls to make them stand strong.
Hand-crafted in my workshop from premium wood, the P4 is built to be a reliable partner in your daily work. Its weight and shape are balanced to provide a controlled touch that allows you to feel the clay respond under the wood. Every P4 is hand-sanded to a professional finish, creating a surface that works well with water and is very smooth, preventing any sticking while you shape your piece.
Why is the P4 so useful?
Balanced shaping A medium-width profile designed for general shaping and changing the structure of your pots.
Dynamic compression Provides the right surface area to press the clay, making your walls stronger and more stable.
Comfort-grip handle The handle is shaped to prevent slipping and help your hand stay relaxed during long work sessions.
Premium wood build Made from select wood and hand-finished by me to ensure a smooth, professional move over wet or leather-hard clay.
Simple and versatile It is the perfect all-around tool for adding new shapes and strength to almost any project on your wheel.
