• Inner Core - Paper Strings with Varnish
• Backing Disk - ABS Plastic
Approximate Dimension:
• Diameter - 130mm
To use this Bamboo Baren, hold the handle properly by inserting your fingers (except for the thumb) through the handle, and the heel part of the hand is touching the back of the baren. In this way, you can put more pressure on the baren. Start rubbing from the corner of the paper to make sure the paper is perfectly aligned to the woodblock, and move the baren in a small, circular motion and gradually increasing motion until the whole area of the paper is pressed to the woodblock.
To keep the baren from being stiff and lengthen your woodblock printing life, apply camellia oil to the rubbing surface. You can also add parchment or any similar paper to protect the back part of the printing paper from the rubbing or the baren.
