The last time I was in Bagni di Lucca Caselli and his apprentices were still cranking out the finest steel tools anywhere. Mold knives, spatulas, clay tools, they make it all, as well as the best cheese knife I own. Anyone who has worked with these tools is spoiled for life. Unfortunately signore Caselli has passed away.

The Compleat Sculptor, Inc. struck gold upon receiving one of the last shipments of Handmade Caselli wood tools. Available while they last, these tools make remarkable gifts, not to mention collector's items, for any level sculptor.

The very best plaster-working tools in the world are made in Italy by Caselli. They surpass wood tools made in Japan or Brazil, with a more robust weightiness and subtle balance to their design. Carry on the Italian tradition of fabulous sculpture by invoking the Old Italian master inspiration through the fine Caselli wood tool line.
