Description
The E. C. Lyons Burin Lozenge No 6 is a burin (graver) with a medium, diamond shaped cutting edge. It engraves a V-shaped line that is deeper than it is wide.
This burin’s shaft is bent and fixed with a wooden, mushroom shaped handle, allowing for easier manipulation.
Although these burins are delivered factory sharp, they are not honed to a fine edge.
The Burin, also known as the Graver, is the primary engraving tool used by printmakers to etch metal plates and wood. Lozenge shaped burins like this are typically used for copper plate and wood etching.
Total length: 11.43 cm
