Sherrill Flexible Ribs

Sherrill ribs are made from a flexible material that performs very well and actually gets better with use- it's self-polishing. Unlike rubber this material will not develop burrs. In fact, the more you use it the nicer it becomes. They will actually burnish themselves as you use them. Each rib shape is available in four hardnesses from very soft to very firm. You choose the shape and hardness that suits your clay and your working style.
