Flexible Ribs
Mudtool ribs are made from a flexible material that is
considered the “stainless steel” of plastics. Unlike
rubber, this material will not develop burrs or cracks.
In fact, these ribs will burnish themselves as you use
them, so, the more you use them the nicer they become.
Available in six shapes, these ribs cover a lot of
what hand builders and throwers need from a rib. Each
rib shape is available in four degrees of hardness; from
very soft to very firm. You choose the shape and
hardness that suits your clay and your working style. |

Stainless Steel Ribs
Mudtools understands that there are times when you just
need a stainless steel rib. In fact, some people prefer
stainless steel over other choices for some of their
work.
We are
proud to offer the stainless steel ribs shown below.
These ribs are constructed from the finest cutlery
grade, flexible stainless steel available. |
