Features & Compatibility
The Wooden Drawplate is a classic tool designed for jewelers, goldsmiths, and beading artists who need a gentle and effective way to reduce and shape soft wires.

Each hole is carefully drilled and tapered to provide smooth wire reduction, ensuring consistent gauges while preserving the natural shine and softness of the metal.
