Traditional Bamboo Tube #70 Mesh (Course) / Small Diameter - For metal powdering

A traditional bamboo straw designed for the precise application of fine metal powders such as gold and silver, specifically tailored for the final stages of kintsugi. This tool delicately sprinkles evenly sieved powders onto the last coat of urushi lacquer, culminating in a refined finish.

Crafted from bamboo, this straw-shaped tube naturally dissipates static electricity during its use, a crucial feature. To employ, hold it at a slight angle and use a pigment scoop to fill its open end. The metal powders will gather within the inner tube, poised above the urushi surface. A gentle tap on its end releases the powder. With patience and skillful technique, this tool contributes to achieving an exquisite layered finish in your kintsugi, maki-e, or other artistic endeavors.
