Description

Hi there, thanks for looking at this item. I'm a custom furniture maker, but by some stroke of good luck, or God's Blessings, I stumbled onto the niche of hand carving hat making tools about the time the economy started putting custom cabinet and furniture makers out of business.

So, I'm very happy to keep my business open by making hat making tools, and other unique products while I wait for the economy to start sending custom furniture commissions again.

This tool is used by custom Hat Makers to form the “Kettle” curl in a hat brim, typically a Western Style Cowboy Hat. But, this type of curling iron can also be used on Fedoras, and Lady’s Millinery Hats.

The Material is Hard Rock Maple, Brass, and a signature “Abalone Shell” inlayed dot.

I have several different sized Wooden Curling Shackels available to purchase, all based on the size of brim curl you are wanting to make.

The common nomenclature for the type of hat brim curl someone wants is pretty hard to describe with the common names, such as “Pencil Curl” and “Kettle Curl”.

To help distinguish between the size of curlers I can make, I’m using the diameter of the carved groove, such as:

Hardrock Maple Wood:
1/4” dia. (sold out - custom order)
3/8” dia. (sold out - custom order)
1/2” dia. (sold out - custom order)
5/8” dia. (sold out - custom order)
3/4” dia. (Item Available in this Listing)
1” dia. (sold out - custom order)
