GourdMasterTM Fili-Point Burr and GourdMasterTM Specialty Burr Set!
Get 3 Burrs for Just $22.30!
"The Fili-Point Burr is awesome! The cutting action is powerful and smooth, like cutting through butter, so it leaves a clean edge - this means less sanding for me (always a good thing!). From tiny filigree holes to larger cut-outs, this burr easily does it all!" - Mary Gehley
Pack includes the 3 Burrs: 2 Double-Coated Diamond "Specialty" Burrs, and a Fili-Point Burr
Shown above, "Specialty Burrs" set, includes inverted cone and cutting wheel
The Specialty Burrs pack comes with two double-coated diamond burrs. The Inverted Cone and the Cutting Wheel. Get both for the special price of just $7.95 when you get 4 or more!
The Double-Coated Inverted Cone is used to create deep grooves which help when you are removing the gourd skin in particular areas on your gourd. The inverted cone is also great for creating sand ripples and faux basketry.
The Double-Coated Cutting Wheel cuts through the skin like butter so you can easily maneuver the burr while you are carving. Use the cutting wheel to create channels for inlace and Heishi beads. It is small in size so it can go in the tight areas around your design.
Shown above, Fili-Point Burr
We named this burr the"Fili-Point" burr because it is designed specifically for creating micro-filigree and large filigree. It is also strong enough to cut through Welburn's famous thick shelled gourds, so you can make intricate cuts, and your own gourd cut-outs!
The Fili-Point burr has a grit coarse enough to cut through thick shells with ease, yet fine enough to leave a nice, smooth finish on the cut line!
This cozy cat house made with a Round Body is by Alicia Thomas! We love the scalloped cut-out she carved for the opening! Thank you, Alicia, for sharing your artwork with us on Facebook!
