Equipment for Kumihimo: Japanese Braiding
Because we do the work ourselves we can usually respond to requests for lighter bobbins, heavier bobbins, matching lost or missing bobbins. We can make marudais & bobbins of various wood types & legs of various heights (but we recommend the standard 40 cm/16” height.)

Peter turns the marudai tops using hardwoods from all over the world.
He turns the bobbins by hand,
drills them out.

Shirley fills them with molten
lead and caps them.
She then sands, waxes and buffs.
