Specialty Sand Carving Tools

A few years back the Sons of the Beach started pounding out steel wielding rods into weird shapes and sticking them into wooden dowels in an effort to create a set of "just the right tools" for carving sand. They worked pretty good - but they weren't real pretty.

So we got talking to Gary - our favorite rocket scientist who really seems to enjoy tinkering with things like this, and the result is what you see here - stainless steel carving tools fitted into color-coded plastic handles. They have a good grip and the bright handles make them easy to find in the sand.

the Sons of the Beach Sand Sculpting Tool Kit We know, they look a lot like clay carving tools you might find in any arts supply shop. But if you have ever taken clay carving tools for an extended stay at the beach, you learn real quick that most are made of materials that rust - sometimes overnight.
