Kiertorullien

Kiertorullien, also known as the "circular ruller," is a traditional Finnish tool used for smoothing and shaping wood. It consists of a circular blade attached to a handle, designed to create a smooth, rounded edge on the wood. The blade is typically made of high-carbon steel, ensuring durability and sharpness. The handle is usually made of wood or synthetic materials, providing a comfortable grip.

The kiertorullien is commonly used in woodworking and furniture making. It is particularly useful for creating rounded edges on chairs, tables, and other wooden items. The tool's circular motion allows for precise and efficient shaping, making it a valuable asset in the workshop. Its design also minimizes the risk of splintering or damaging the wood, as the blade moves smoothly across the surface.

The kiertorullien has been a staple in Finnish woodworking for centuries, passed down through generations as a symbol of craftsmanship and skill. Today, it remains an essential tool for both traditional and modern woodworkers, contributing to the preservation of Finnish woodworking techniques.
