Woodturners Mini-Texturing Tool Hardware Parts Kit

This mini-texturing tool hardware parts kit provides the hardware necessary for you to build a superb texturing tool. (You provide a scrap of wood of your choice to turn for the handle.) Once built, the mini-texturing tool allows a woodturner to enhance the texture of a workpiece's surface after the woodturning is complete. It can be used to decorate your turned boxes (such as the ones shown illustrated above), bottle stoppers, pens, finials, bowls and hollow forms, as well as almost any other kind of workpiece turned on a lathe.
