A burnisher is the tool often employed to create highlights in an intaglio print--to lighten tones in an aquatint or mezzotint. The curved tip allows one to focus it's polishing action into a smaller area as it is used further towards the tip. Pressure is applied as the burnisher is rubbed on the plate. The smooth steel is harder than the zinc plate and this rubbing action softens surface textures. The burnisher is also the tool used by mezzotint artists to smooth the texture off the mezzotint plate. OUR STORY In 1906 our grandfather Donato Ramella immigrated to the United States from Italy in search of the American dream. In 1937, along with two partners, Donato founded the U.J. Ramelson Company. UJ. Ramelson quickly established themselves as the leader in quality American handmade carving tools. The family tradition of excellence continues with third generation owners John and Dan Ramella. Blending age old traditions, with advanced technologies, our tools are hand forged, heat treated, and tempered by our expert craftsmen. Today, Ramelson is not only a manufacturer, but also a distributor of many fine tools and supplies.
