Buy: Wooden / Shaping Rib

/

This tool is a wooden rib, often referred to as a shaping rib.

Purpose:

  • It's used for smoothing and shaping clay, particularly when working on the pottery wheel. The curved shape allows for refining the contour of pottery forms like bowls, vases, or plates.
  • The curved edge can help create more defined curves or smooth larger surfaces, while the notched section at the bottom can be used to clean or shape the edge of the pot or for creating rounded indentations.

Wooden ribs like this are great for providing structure and a smooth finish to your pottery projects.
