Boxwood modelling tools are useful for the hand-moulded pottery and for decoration. One
pointed tool, like a sharpened pencil (see Fig. 1), and another double-ended one, with points that are more flattened and rounded (see Fig. 2), will be enough to start with. One should also have a double-ended steel tool with pointed knife-ends (see Fig. 3), for incising and other decorative work. A steel tool with narrow, flattened ends (see Fig. 4) is necessary for cutting away the background to leave the design in low relief.
