Guge Bent, Replaceable tip Mini Burner (Left Hand)

The (mini) is a smaller version of the regular size bent tip. This tip is ideal for miniatures or smaller carvings. It was created from a thinner gauge wire so it doesn't have the strength of the larger tips. If you apply too much pressure or attempt to re-bend the tip it may break.  This is the original bent-tip design that Bob Guge created decades ago. There are many imitations on the market today, but there is only one original.The purpose of these tips is to create a ridged, stacked feather like appearance on a bird. Some of the other uses of these tips include:-working around the face and beak area of a bird-detailed contours on a fish's face -feather splits and feather overlaps-feather quills Right handed carvers need right handed tips. Left handed carvers need left handed tips.These burner tips are manufactured by Colwood. A Colwood handle is needed for the replaceable tips.
