The finishing rake tools are made with either a fine, medium or combination gauge wire. These rakes are exceptional for removing clay from small, delicate areas with either a small "tooth", expressing little texture, or with a medium "tooth" that is helpful for creating hair textures or exposing the tooling "hand" of the sculptor on the surface of the piece. Each tools is approximately 7" in length.
The "S-shaped" hardwood tool was created after a sculptor asked for a custom-made tool with a small, finely tapered tip with some flexibility that would enable him to reach into very delicate areas. Thus the "S-shape" was born. Since these tools take more time and skill to create, the price is slightly higher. Each tool is approximately 7'" in length.
