Hi All,
On the way back from NCECA we stopped in Berea.
At the college craft store I found a great little tool that they said had something to do with peeling grapefruit and oranges. But, it really works great as a tool to finish off inside seams on handbuilt work.
It is about 3 1/2" long, 1/2" wide at the widest part, smooth topside curve with a "v" shaped ridge along the bottom. Image a sailboat hull without the sails! It fits comfortably in your hand and finishes off those inside corners beautifully.
Has anyone else seen these?
Noel, in 80*+ Georgia with the azaleas, apple trees and dogwood are blooming! ;-)

They sound like citrus peelers. You push the tool into the top of the
grapefruit and run it down to the bottom. Do this several times around
the grapefruit and you pull the peel off in sections. I have one in my
studio and use it for smoothing attachments on pieces that are too small
for my finger.

Yes, I use them with oranges. I have seen them in our local Kitchen
store : Cook's Junction in Los Altos,CA. I have also received them with
orange shipments from Cushman's in Florida.
