Product Details: |
This Marudai is made to Rodrick Owen's specifications which are based on Japanese Marudai. There is much more to it than a simple disk of wood with a hole in the center; a velvety surface for the mirror so that threads don't slip yet won't catch and the shape is conducive to balance and symmetry for the braider. Made of hard maple with a hard wax finish (other than the mirror), the Marudai screw together with machine screws so that they are easy to assemble and disassemble yet rock solid when in use.
With a height of 26"/60cm. the Western Style 26" Marudai allows the braider to sit in a chair to braid.
The Marudai top or "mirror" is approximately 25cm (10") in diameter and the hole is approximately 4cm (1.5) in diameter. These Marudai can easily hold upwards of 36 tama. The hard maple wood insures a light color and hence, good contrast for your threads. The mirror is carefully finished so that it grips the threads without snagging them.
Kit includes a 10 in. Marudai (ma-ru-dye) with long legs, eight 70g Tama (bobbins), counter weight bag, s-hook and chopstick.
This Marudai can be assembled and disassembled thousands of times without worry that there will be any failure of the bolt and metal insert assembly.
