Domed Square Wood Mandrel for Bracelet Bangles, Jewellery Making and Shaping Tool, Natural Wooden, 14 Inch
For jewellers and silversmiths forming square-section bangles, this wooden mandrel is the correct tool for the job. It allows you to shape bracelets from square or rectangular stock whilst preserving the flat faces, preventing the profile distortion that occurs when using a round mandrel.
Key features
- Consistent square cross-section maintains the geometry of square or rectangular stock during forming.
- Solid wood construction prevents marking or scratching of polished, non-ferrous metals.
- Features one domed end suitable for initial shaping and finishing work.
- Straight, non-tapered profile for forming consistently-sized bangles and cuffs.
- Subtly rounded corners prevent overly sharp internal angles on the finished piece.
Who it's for
An essential forming tool for UK bench jewellers, silversmiths, and metalsmiths working with square or rectangular wire and strip. Also suitable for students and apprentices learning to form bangles in silver, copper, or brass.
