Bow

The Mudcutter is a wire tool with a handle. It can easily cut a plug of clay coming out of a 4 inch pug mill or cut a spout on an angle before attaching it the pot; it’s like an extra hand if you’re cutting clay off an extruder. Made with stainless steel and a comfortable polymer handle. Can be used with a straight or curly wire.

The Carving Bow is the little brother of the Mudcutter. It’s well suited for hand building and is handy if you work with polymer clay. The straight wire makes a clean cut when you are faceting thrown objects and the curly wire gives a great texture. Available with curly or straight wires.

Replacement wires are available in either straight or curly designs. The Mudcutter is slightly larger than the Carving Bow, thus the wires are specific for each tool.
