Dave Bull gave me some polished cherry plywood years ago and I marveled at the smoothness- I tried hi-grit wet dry sandpaper, scrapers, etc. I haven’t documented this yet, but I have been using a sheepskin car buffer on a drill press along with gray polishing rouge- I’ve also used a hand drill. I polish the crap out of cherry plywood that I’ve laminated. I do think that whatever smoothness I have gotten is in the ink suspension (I add a little paste in the ink bowl to keep in in suspension and then on the block).

Also used widely in Finland and recommended by Tuula Moilanen and Tetsuta Noda in Japan The KBB Baren has been highly recommended Michael Schneider head of printmaking, Tokyo National Univeristy of Fine Art, Tokyo, Japan. The Baren should be kept dry at all times. Occasional rubbing on an oiled felt pad is the only maintenance required. The baren is bound in black leather with a strong leather handle and measures 13 cm in diameter. The construction enables the balls to rotate freely which delivers multiple pressure points evenly across the disc. The KBB Baren is made from a disc of high-grade plastic, which suspends stainless steel balls or Delrin balls, allowing them to form pressure points for printing. The coil and backing are then wrapped in a well smoothed out bamboo sheath, which protects the coiled string and forms a handle. The coil is then backed with a disc of laminated paper. Traditionally the Japanese baren is made from split bamboo sheath twisted into a string, which is then made into a coil. The KBB Baren is portable, inexpensive and does not restrict the size of the print or paper used. The baren originally introduced to Japan by the Chinese during the Muromanchi Period (1338-1572) produces equally effective and frequently more interesting results than a Western printing press. The KBB Baren allows you to print various types of relief printing and monotypes to any scale using either water base or oil based inks, and is handmade by Roslyn in her studio.
