WR2 Wood Rib 75 mm – diamond coretools

At last, DiamondCore® Tools has created its version of one of the most essential tools for potters: the wood rib. Designed as a natural extension of the hand, our wood ribs give your work a unique suppleness and strength. With this deceptively simple tool, your ceramic creations can take on new and elaborate forms.

The Wood Rib 75 mm is the “right” tool for all your rad throws. Guide the rounded end along the wall of your workpiece to pull up your pot. The flat, tapered end can be used to smooth walls and remove material from the outside of your workpiece, and the concave back helps create large, gentle curves better than a flat rib. While the comfortable size sits nicely between your thumb and fingers, the new diamond-shaped design makes it easy to hold from any angle.
