With this tool you can change the visual and tactile qualities of
even the most bland piece of wood. By rubbing the cutter across
the turned project an interesting textured effect can be created.
The texture pattern can altered by changing the angle of the cutter, the speed of the lathe, the position of the tool rest and the type of wood.
The range of textures can vary from an orange peel effect with the tool presented in the vertical plane to a swirl produced when the
tool is less than 45 degrees. The pattern can be further enhanced
by adding
dyes etc
.
The texturing tool performs on both soft and hard woods although the texture pattern may be very different. It is just as effective on end- as well as bowl-grain projects.
At a later stage the Texturing Tool can be up-graded with the addition of the tool rest (360) and spiralling cutters (350) to
become a spiralling tool as well.
