Handcrafted Bamboo Spatula for Mounting | Traditional Chinese Art Tool
Rooted in centuries of Chinese mounting tradition, this Handcrafted Bamboo Spatula / Bamboo Lifting Knife is designed for the delicate art of painting and calligraphy conservation. Each piece is individually shaped and polished by hand from natural bamboo, preserving its smooth texture, fine grain, and gentle flexibility.
Used during the final stage of the wet-mounting process (裱畫 / 裱褙), the spatula allows you to gracefully lift a dried painting or calligraphy work from the mounting wall or drying board without damaging the surface. Its natural elasticity and soft edge make it a trusted companion for both professional mounters and passionate artists.
Here is a video tutorial which will guide you through the materials, preparation and process of wet mounting.
