Description

CocoRibs

were intended for handbuilding -- for pushing out walls and scraping and smoothing curved surfaces. The idea for developing a series of ribs made from coconuts came from reading an article about Magdalene Odundo.

And they do work incredibly well for handbuilding. However, when I tried them out for throwing, I found that they worked equally well with this technique. Their natural curves made them easy to hold and easy to use. The edge was hard, but could easily be sanded smooth, and coconut shells are naturally durable in water and are finished with mineral oil for extra durability.

If you wish to remove throwing lines, then use a CocoRib on the exterior. I do a lot of brushwork on my pottery, so I am in the habit of smoothing the exterior of some of my pottery.
