Description
Fretz Design has designed fluting stakes for domed and flat bracelet surfaces. The new M-133A and M-133B make it possible to flute concave bracelets and other shapes with handcrafted random or uniform flutes. The stakes M-133A and M-133B are designed to be used after the project is formed on the concave M-104 Stake.
Using the M-133B
The M-133B is used after the M-133A to sharpen up the flutes. The M-133A with its round crest line leaves a track for the second stake to follow. Planish lightly with the M-133B Stake following the tracks made M-133A Stake. The semi formed flutes keep this sharp stake from dancing around on the inside and the result is a pristine flute. The resulting planish marks will be dependent on how hard the metal is struck and which hammer is chosen.
