This paper making mold and deckle is a handmade adaption of the Eastern style papermaking mold and deckle. In the Eastern version, the screen is removable—and that is the version I prefer as the screen can easily be replace when needed. This Eastern style mold and deckle is called the "sugeta" in Japan, and "liềm seo" (bamboo screen), and "khung seo" (frames), in Vietnam. The mold and deckles are made from mahogany wood, which is the most resistant to warpage and rot. The joints are tongue & groove joints. Tung oil has been applied to the frames. The screen is where the pulp is collected and strained. It is made with three parts—fine mesh screen, bamboo mat, and two edge sticks. The bamboo is sewn onto the edge sticks. The mesh screen is stitched in place along the top edge of the bamboo mat. The mesh screen prevents the pulp from getting caught in the bamboo mat. Finish paper size is approximately 12X9 inches.
