This is my favorite rib to work on platter rims and large bowls. I enjoy this swirling leaf design. I have used this same design in bowl decorating in the past. -

I have started treating some of my pottery ribs like they are mini canvases and I am decorating them with a wood burner. -

These are some of the knives that I make out of a variety of exotic woods. Using functional tools that are attractive is important to me. I take extra care in shaping and sanding the edges of my tools so that they feel as good as they look. -

I like the sooty, dirty feeling of layers and age that I can sometimes get with shino. -

This trim knife does double duty with a knife at one end and a footing rib at the other. -
I love the fish scale pattern that is revealed as this wood is shaped. -
