EC Lyons Round Scorper Tool

EC Lyons makes high-quality tools for wood engraving. These tools are made from high-carbon tool steel. The round scorper produces straight lines with a rounded profile.

Use to lighten areas of a print by stippling: repeatedly pecking the woodblock with the tip of the tool, so that the surface bears a carpet of tiny incisions. Because of the U-shaped tip of this tool, it is perfect for creating small, round dots.

The sizes for these tools refer to their varying widths.

#50, #51, and #53 are the smaller sizes. Good for fine linear work and stippling. 

#55, #56, and #58 are the larger sizes. Use to clear large areas and create bold lines.

These tools are factory sharp but not honed.
