Item Name: Frank Scott Tools - Brass Marver SKU: 854-FST-BRASSMARVER Description: The Frank Scott Tools Brass Marver is a hand tool built with brass marvering surfaces designed for shaping hot glass during flameworking. Frank Scott Tools designs with the flameworker’s needs in mind, and the craftsmanship shows in the fit and finish of the working faces. Brass marver surfaces are especially useful when you want to chill glass more quickly than you would on graphite. This marver also includes a notch at the end for cleaning up the ends of beads, and it has a tapered knife edge that is designed to cut in necklines when putting a lid onto vase shapes. How it is used: Use the brass marvering faces to roll, flatten, and true up gathers while you build a form, especially when you want to firm the surface quickly before making the next move. The end notch is used to refine and clean bead ends near the mandrel line for a more finished edge. The tapered knife edge is used to define a clean neckline or seat when fitting a lid to a small vessel or vase form, helping the lid register neatly and consistently.
