The Decorating Elf texturing tools is one of the most versatile of such tools on the market today. I find it works best on end-grain, and especially hard end-grain woods like hard maple, Osage orange and many exotics. It works well for different areas of a lidded box, spinning top bodies, texture bands on bowls and other objects. The Elf comes with the basic tool and a stiff brush for clean up.
