Description
Reach deeper and pull your pottery walls taller with our Wood Rib 50 mm Extra-Long. This elongated version of our small, 50 mm wood rib is still great for opening your ceramics piece on a wheel. But the extra-long edge gives you more control to shape and refine your vessel. The tapered side on this extra long version is without an angle so it can be used to compress or flatten the base within a tall piece.
The size still sits comfortably between your thumb and fingers, while the novel diamond-grid design makes it easy to hold from any angle.
