Texturing Tool 310H

This tool enhances turned pieces by producing a myriad of different textures. It can be used to create unique effects that alter the tactile and visual quailities of bowls, hollow forms, goblets or boxes. Orange peel, striated and ribbed patterns are all possible. Some of the effects are subtle some are coarse and aggressive depending on the angle of the cutter as it makes contact with the wood and pressure applied. The effects vary considerably depending on the type of wood used, wether it is a spindle, bowl or end grain work and the angle at which the tool is presented. More variations are possible with the application of dyes, liming waxes and flame scoring, all of which create interesting contrasts.
