I suppose everyopne is aware that Marshallton now has out a new line of 
trowels with rubberized handles.   Not only does this save trees, but it provides 
for a firmer grip, saves blisters and (for those in my age group) arthritic 
joints.   Great for troweling through hard dry adobe.   The business end of the 
trowel is still of top Marshallton quality.   Try one and you will never go 
back!
