COOPER MOULDS

Nosey Hill says, "These are the best moulds I've ever seen for those just learning the art of papermaking. Sturdy, well made from unfinished 3/4 by 3/4 inch hardwood. The heat shrinking polypropylene screen is attached with both stainless steel staples & adhesive! Surely, they will last a long time." Cooper happens to agree. They represent a great value while not compromising on quality.

CUSTOM MOULDS

Things of beauty - works of art in themselves! Beloved by production paper makers. Made in the tradition of a centuries old craft. Made by hand, our very special attention to detail ensures that these moulds will perform supremely well for years and years to come. Our Custom Moulds & Deckles are carefully crafted from straight-grained Honduras Mahogany, the traditional material of choice due to its stability and rot resistance, with clear Ponderosa Pine ribs. The dovetailed corners on the mould are fastened with wooden pegs & high-strength waterproof glue. After assembly, the ribs of the mould are hand-shaped to a slightly convex curve to ensure proper sheet formation and a tight deckle fit. All surfaces are hand sewn to these ribs. Exposed edges are trimmed with a brass strip fastened to the mould with brass escutcheon pins. The deckle is joined with a special overlapping tenon joint. It too is then shaped by hand and fitted to the mould.
Various types of Custom Moulds are available - from Woven to Antique Laid Moulds (laid without backing) - and in many different sizes.

Please allow 8 to 10 weeks for delivery of Custom Moulds & Deckles. A 50% deposit is required with each order, balance payable upon shipment.
