New Wave Stedi-Rest, Mahl Stick Rest to Steady The Hand While Painting Detail

Works great, just what I needed.

I gave this device 3 stars because of the concept. This product is made of plastic and is flimsy. When I put my mahl stick in the top 3 and bottom 3 grooves, the device bows in. This also isn’t conducive to use on a gallery wrap canvas that is more than 3/4 to an inch deep. Definitely not on a 1.5 inch deep canvas. For standard size canvas it will work just fine. I would suggest putting something flat and sturdy between the set screw and the canvas to keep the end of the screw from damaging your canvas. Again, I do love the concept.

Wife wanted one for a long time. Really works for her.

Only downfall is that it cannot adhere to a flat board canvas. It needs a thicker stretched canvas.

At first, I thought the screw was too short to secure it to my canvas (which is only about 1/2" thick), but it did. If you don't rest the other end of your mahl stick on the protruding bottom shelf of your easel, it will flex down and touch your painting. As long as you do that, your hands are free to hold a brush in one and a palette in the other! I noticed some were bothered by the fact that it's plastic. First of all, that is in the product description, so don't buy it if you don't want plastic. It doesn't bother me as it is lightweight and doesn't detract from its functionality. Tomorrow, I paint!

Great, followed delivery instructions on all items delivered today.

Im disappointed it and easy broken!!!

This was a good purchase as it works well to steady a hand on a canvas.
