Dockyard Plough Micro Carving Tool, great for wood carving and more!
These micro-sized professional quality carving tools were designed for wood carving, but are absolutely fantastic for carving into leather-hard metal clay, baked polymer clay, rubber, and lino.
Carving tools create deep, bold textures on clay, making them great for enamelling, patina, and other colour finishes to your jewellery. Also great for woodcarving of all sizes! All carving tool handles are made from cherry wood, shaped in an ergonomic hexagon shape to give a good grip, and stop them rolling off your table!
This plough tool (sometimes called plough chisel or single bevel chisel) is a single-bevel chisel that can make very deep cuts quickly (use a light touch to avoid removing too much clay).
SAFETY NOTE: Always carve away from your hands, and keep away from children - these tools are extremely sharp!!
HOW TO USE:
- To get used to how these tools work, we suggest you start carving on scrap material.
- Don't try to carve too deep, it's better to do several shallow cuts. Carving too deep can cause your tool to get stuck or damage the tip.
- These are precision hand tools. Don't pry or twist into the material you're carving. Don't use them with a hammer, or excessive force.
Available in 1.5mm, 2mm and 3mm.
Size: Approx 13.5cm x 1cm
