Abstract
A device for recreating knockdown patterns on walls, ceilings and surfaces. The device includes approximately six foam prong fingers having exposed lengths of approximately 1/4 to 1 and 1/2 inches long arranged in a bundle, and approximately 1/4 to approximately 2 inches in diameter. One end to bundle is cinched and held within a hand grip allowing the opposite end to form a splay pattern. Including the cinch portion each of the foam prongs can be approximately 1 to 3 inches in length. The outer exposed ends of the bundle can have flat perpendicular cuts and sliced forty five degree angled cuts. An optional extension pole allows the device to be used in hard to reach areas.
