Item Name:
Tubular Graphite Paddle Marver
SKU:
850-540
Description:
The Tubular Paddle Marver is a precision shaping tool constructed from durable metal with a hollow tubular paddle head. This tool is essential in lampworking for creating uniform, symmetrical beads and shaping molten glass with consistent results. The tubular design allows the glassblower to apply even pressure across the bead surface, preventing flat spots and ensuring professional-quality finishes. When working with hot glass, the paddle's smooth surface allows the bead to roll freely while being shaped, making it ideal for both decorative and functional beadmaking applications.
How it is used:
- Shape and flatten beads to create uniform, even surfaces during the working process
- Roll beads against the paddle to achieve symmetrical, professional-quality results
- Create consistent bead dimensions across multiple pieces for production work
- Apply controlled pressure to melt and fuse surface details without distorting the bead's overall shape
- Cool beads gradually by rolling them on the paddle as they transition from working temperature
Dimensions:
- Groove paddle diameters of:
- 3/8"
- 1/2"
- 5/8"
- 3/4"
