Got 2 smallish odd looking What is it?

[HeelSpur]

Maybe its for reeming down the end of a dowell rod.

[oldgoaly]

not sharp any where? the ovalish one has a better in side.

[Aunt Phil]

OG you forgot to use Crisco to lube the device.

Nice color clay though.

[oldgoaly]

The clay has some mineral oil on it so it came out easy.
I was thinking of you all here with the colour! 
For free I got 40-50 of unopened, another 40-50 of open stuff.
And of course I had just bought the big block sculpty clay.

[Aunt Phil]

OK, you ram about half an inch of sculpting into the coal forge pan for a liner, and go all class with a nice white glaze for maximum IR reflection.

How much slip have you got in inventory? 

[oldgoaly]

slip?
Icabod Slipp? 3 Stooges short  Hold that Lion?

[Aunt Phil]

NO.  Slip as in the white clay you mix up to be about like a milkshake in a cheap choke & puke, pour into a plaster mold and then empty most of back into the jug.

That slip clay.

[oldgoaly]

I'm not a potter, but I should have known that.

just a guess.... gem stone cutters set the stones in hard wax to hold them for grinding the facets and polishing....could be a handle for that trade

When cutting cabs you usually use a wood dowel. There is a commercial dop stick, but it is aluminum, with a flared end.  None have handles, but they would be nice often.

Small metal dops are used for faceting stones. Commonly,  they have ends that are flat, conically cut in from the end, and "V" shaped notches in the end. Other end configurations are less common.  A handle would get in the way when mounting the dop to the grinding jig.

I've cut lots of cabs, but I haven't cut any faceted stones. I have 3 or 4 cabbing grinders.
