"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
The Fili-Point Burr is a double-coated diamond burr that tapers to a fine point allowing you to create amazing carvings on any gourd (yes, even the thickest Welburn gourds!)
We named this burr the"Fili-Point" burr because it is designed specifically for creating micro-filigree and large filigree.

Letters from Customers
"I just wanted you to know how much I like the Fili-Point Burr. It is the best burr I've used for doing filigree cut work. Unlike other pointed burrs that leave ridges, the Fili-Point makes a nice clean cut the first time and saves a step. It can be used for doing small filigree as well as large cut outs. Welburn you got a keeper with this one." - Gloria Crane
***************************
"Thanks for my filli-point burrs. I have been having a wonderful time playing with the burr. Wish I'd had one years ago! Keep up the good work." - Simone Doherty
***************************
"The [Fili-Point Burr] is awesome! I love that I can just plunge it right into the gourd and it doesn't grab. Because of its size it fits into tiny corners, so I can cut really intricate shapes. The cutting action is powerful and so 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
