Northstar Timber Rod

Description

The Northstar NS-151 Timber rod stands out as the latest innovation in the line of cadmium-based green glasses. This forest green glass specifically meets the needs of glass artists seeking a safe green for the millefiori technique. Northstar designed this rich shade to complement their cadmium glass collection, already enriched by NS-150 Roswell. Thanks to this new formulation, artists have access to an intense forest green, ideal for their creations. This green is available without compromising the saturation of the color, which is essential.

The working characteristics of the Northstar NS-151 Timber rod are particularly appealing to artists. It attracts those looking to combine depth of color and ease of manipulation. This cadmium-based green glass is smooth and easy to work with under heat, simplifying its use. However, it may become slightly translucent when stretched too thin or blown to a fine thickness. Proper heat control is essential when handling this material. To avoid burning or boiling the glass, ensure that the heat penetrates slowly, and distribute the heat evenly throughout the rod. This helps achieve a clean and flawless final result.

The NS-151 Timber rod shines with its versatility and ability to be used in a variety of glassworking techniques. Whether it’s for blowing, sculpting, or filigree work, this glass offers an intensity of color that doesn’t diminish even when stretched or shaped with precision. Artists can explore subtle or bold variations while maintaining the integrity of this unique forest green. This glass quickly becomes a must-have for anyone wanting to add a vibrant and stable shade to their creations.
