The Kalera is a rectangle, with a curved surface on the top and bottom. It's as if you took two 1/4 sections of pipe and set them on top of each other. You have a flat end near the mandrel, a curved surface that meets at a point on the edges adjacent the mandrel. This is a great focal! We have two thicknesses available for you, here, that create stunning canvases for your artwork.
The tool comes standard with a mandrel groove sized to accommodate a 1/16th or 5/64th mandrel. If you work primarily with 3/32nd mandrels, you can select a modification to accommodate that size, at not extra charge.
Kalera XLong measures:
- Original: 20mm wide, 38mm long, 13mm thick
- Slim: 20mm wide, 38mm long, mm thick
Which do I want?
Note: There is an even slimmer version of this tool, called the Kalera Long and Lean, you can find out more about that tool here.
This is a versatile shape that came out of the collaboration with Kalera Stratton. To read more about that and our other collaborations, you can head over to the Collaborations page!
