This is a cow bone spatula, useful for paper crafts such as bookbinding and cartonnage, as well as leathercraft. # See Naritaro's other agate spatulas and cow bone spatulas here ■ Unlike plastic spatulas, it won't melt or wear down from friction with leather, fabric, or paper, so you can use it with confidence. ■ While made of a durable material, you can easily shape it to your desired form by sanding it. ⚠️ This product uses materials derived from living organisms, so there may be chips, warping, uneven thickness, and other dimensional errors. Please be aware of this. ⚠️ The tip of this product has a rough finish. This product is intended for those who will shape it to their liking using sandpaper, etc., so please refrain from purchasing if you are looking for a tool that is ready to use immediately. ⚠️ The edges may chip as you sand them down, so we recommend "oil curing" by soaking them in drying oils such as linseed oil or perilla oil. The oil that soaks in and oxidizes will reinforce the spatula. You can use edible linseed oil or perilla oil for this process, but be aware that some varieties of oil have a low iodine value (making them less prone to oxidative hardening). Linseed oil for oil painting or linseed oil and perilla oil for wood finishing are reliable choices. For more information, search the web using keywords like "bone spatula oil curing."
