Each rib has its own unique grain, colour and tone, with natural variations in the wood making every piece slightly different. These are practical studio tools with a lovely tactile quality, combining the warmth of native timber with the functionality potters need at the wheel and workbench.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWooden ribs are versatile tools for shaping, smoothing and refining clay. Use them to compress and tidy surfaces, develop curves, refine profiles and create clean, flowing forms. They're particularly useful for wheel-thrown pottery, but can also be used for hand-building and sculptural work. Different shapes offer different ways to support the clay, smooth contours and achieve the finish you're after.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWith a selection of sizes and profiles available, you can choose a rib that suits your hands, your technique and the forms you enjoy making. From broad, sweeping curves to smaller, more precise shaping tools, each design offers something a little different.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMade from recycled rimu, these ribs are also a lovely way to bring reclaimed timber into the ceramics studio. Because each piece is handmade from natural wood, expect variations in grain, colour, tone and shape. These are part of the character of the material, so your rib may look slightly different from the product photo.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan\u003eChoose your shape and size\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul data-spread=\"false\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eXL Rib:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e 210mm long × 55mm wide\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLarge Rib:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e 150mm long × 50mm wide\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTeardrop Rib:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e 120mm long × 70mm wide\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMountain Rib:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e 105mm long × 50mm wide\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePebble Rib – Double Ended:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e 120mm long × 75mm wide\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePebble Rib – Large:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e 110mm long × 80mm wide\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePebble Rib – Medium:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e 105mm long × 75mm wide\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePebble Rib – Small:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e 85mm long × 65mm wide\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Recycled rimu wood\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFinish:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Handmade, with natural variations in grain, colour and shape\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePlease note:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Each rib is individually made, so dimensions and appearance may vary.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eA beautiful, practical addition to any pottery toolkit, whether you're stocking your first studio or adding a distinctive handmade tool to a well-loved collection.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Clae","offers":[{"title":"LRG Rimu Throwing Rib","offer_id":67678172053682,"sku":null,"price":53.3,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true},{"title":"XL Rimu Throwing Rib","offer_id":67678172086450,"sku":null,"price":56.9,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Rimu Teardrop Rib","offer_id":67678172119218,"sku":null,"price":26.65,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Rimu Mountain Rib","offer_id":67678172151986,"sku":null,"price":22.2,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Rimu Pebble Rib double ended","offer_id":67678172184754,"sku":null,"price":26.65,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Rimu Pebble Rib lrg","offer_id":67678172217522,"sku":null,"price":26.65,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Rimu Pebble Rib med","offer_id":67678172250290,"sku":null,"price":22.2,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true},{"title":"RImu Pebble Rib sml","offer_id":67678172283058,"sku":null,"price":19.9,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0650\/4162\/9362\/files\/IMG_1971.heic?v=1791845743","url":"https:\/\/workspacetools.co.nz\/products\/recycled-rimu-ribs","provider":"Workspace Tools","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
