Fluting Tool

This tool is used to flute grooves on leather hard pots. Length is 17,8 cm long with two different sizes of loop to create different width and depth of groove. It is made from steel, oil hardened and tempered. It is rust proof and durable for professional potters.

Fluting is most easily done on cylindrical forms, but it can be very beautiful on spherical or hemispherical forms such as bottles, jars or bowls. Fluting should be done when the pot is soft, but firm enough to be handled. A smooth, fine textured body is the best - the technique is most often used with porcelain.
