Description »

The moulds and deckles are handmade from ashwood and finished with linseed oil. They are fitted with finger joints and the deckle nests comfortably over the mould. These moulds have two layers of bronze screening hand sewn into the wooden backing ribs: a mesh for support and a laid surface for sheet forming. The backing ribs ensure rigidity, optimal drainage, and effortless couching.  The mould is finished with brass trim and has a comfortable weight of about 4.5 pounds. These beautiful tools are a pleasure to use and will last a lifetime if cared for properly. Made exclusively for Carriage House Paper.
