Shape large, flowing curves with precision using this 16-inch sinusoidal stake, designed for creating smooth, continuous wave forms on substantial metal pieces.

What it does

This substantial forming stake allows you to expertly manipulate sheet metal into elegant anticlastic and sinusoidal shapes. Its continuous, gentle wave profile guides your hammer blows to create seamless undulations across larger workpieces, ideal for vessels and statement jewellery. The hardened steel construction ensures durability, while the highly polished surface prevents unwanted marks from transferring to your silver or other non-ferrous metals.

How to use it

  • Secure the tang firmly in a sturdy vice or stake holder.
  • Gently tap sheet metal over the curve with a forming hammer.
  • Wipe clean after use to maintain the polished finish.

Who it's for

Professional silversmiths and holloware artists requiring extended reach for large-scale anticlastic forming will find this indispensable. It’s also a valuable tool for armourers and sculptors shaping non-ferrous sheet metal, replacing multiple smaller stakes for creating fluid, sweeping curves in their work.

Henry ★★★★★

The polished surface on this stake lets heavy-gauge silver slide without catching, which saved me hours of sanding. I’m finally able to shape consistent 6-inch waves on bracelet cuffs without any tool marks.

Ruby D. ★★★★★

I’ve been using this 16-inch sinusoidal stake for a few days now, and the hardened steel really gives a solid, heavy feel that makes shaping copper curves effortless. The high polish leaves a flawless finish on every wave without snagging. Definitely worth the investment for serious metalwork.

Violet L. ★★★★★

I've been using this 16-inch sinusoidal stake for a few weeks now, and the highly polished surface really lets the metal glide smoothly as I shape curves. It handles the heavy work without any flex, making those continuous waves come out crisp and consistent.
