jpless77 Report post Posted January 15, 2014 I've been practicing with a couple Barry King petal lifters as well as a ck undershot beveler. In Likewise's book they say that a lifter is never an undershot and an undershot is never a lifter, but some schools of thought say the lifters can do both. Either way I'd appreciate any incite or tricks with the use of these tools. The undershot works for the tight inside curves of petals, but the lifters only pinch the cuts and put a dark burnish in the scallop( I understand casing plays on this but that's workable), and they don't seem to lift, but push back the petal exposing raw leather. I hope this makes sense. Thanks in advance for the look. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bob Blea Report post Posted January 17, 2014 I use my Barry King lifters as either a lifter or a undershot beveler. When lifting the petal edge, I usually tilt the tool back on its heel after striking it to lift the petal edge up a bit and get more of a 3D effect. But that's just the way I found that I liked. It may not be the 'right' way. Bob Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
