The suede top is specifically sized to take a whole leaf of gold leaf or other precious metal leaves in an 80 x 80 mm leaf size. The main body of the tip is a piece of solid oak topped with a handle. This gives the tip overall a pleasing heft that aids in the process of both picking up and laying the metal leaves.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/4″][vc_single_image image=”1345″ img_size=”large” alignment=”center”][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/4″][vc_single_image image=”1346″ img_size=”large” alignment=”center”][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/4″][vc_single_image image=”1347″ img_size=”large” alignment=”center”][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/4″][vc_single_image image=”1348″ img_size=”large” alignment=”center”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Each tip comes in it’s own padded box along with a small tin of Vaseline™ for charging the The Richard.<\/p>\n If you would like to read more about The Richard or find full instructions and a video on using it then please click here.\u00a0<\/a>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" [vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css_animation=”fadeInUp”]Now available on our website is an innovative new gilding tip \u2013 The Richard!
