Wooden Throwing Stick Long

These wooden throwing sticks are used for shaping wheel thrown work on a wheel rotation of clockwise or counter-clockwise.

A throwing stick is a rib extended to reach inside vase shapes and belly them out. They can reach in a small top hole, where hands would never fit. With a little water on them, they will stretch a shape far thinner than is possible by hand Another feature of throwing sticks is they will work inside without supporting them simultaneously on the outside. This makes it possible to blow up a slipped decoration similarly to the way printing on a balloon gets larger as it is blown.
