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.
Sculpt elegant transitions with fluid precision. Meet the V9.
The V9 is a specialized profiling rib engineered for potters who want to master the art of the concave curve. I designed this pottery tool to solve the challenge of creating consistent, sweeping inward curves that are difficult to achieve with standard ribs. Its specific geometry is ideal for defining the graceful neck of a bottle, the soft flare of a bowl, or any form where a continuous, rhythmic hollow is required.
Hand-crafted in my workshop from premium water-resistant timber, the V9 serves as a stable template against the spinning clay. The beveled concave edge is hand-finished to ensure it compresses the clay particles perfectly, increasing the wall's structural integrity while leaving a professional, glass-smooth surface. Like other technical ribs in this series, it features a central ergonomic hole that provides a secure pivot point for absolute control during the shaping process.
Why the V9 is a technical essential:
- Deep Concave Geometry: Specifically shaped to create and refine inward-sloping profiles with total consistency.
- Fluid Surface Compression: The hand-sanded edge glides over the clay, aligning particles to strengthen the wall while removing excess slip.
- Ergonomic Command: Includes a precision-carved center hole for a non-slip grip, allowing for subtle adjustments in pressure and angle.
- Artisan Hardwood Build: Crafted from high-density timber to ensure the tool remains a reliable, warp-resistant partner in your studio for years.
Warning: The V9 makes creating complex curves so effortless that you might find yourself adding elegant necks and flares to every piece you throw!
