Felt-faced wood baren, 4 inches
Compatibility and working details
- Contact diameter
- 4 in
- Base
- Felt covered
- Body
- Bamboo wood per seller
When to choose it
Choose this baren if you want a felt-covered surface between the wood body and the back of your paper. The four-inch model covers more of a card or a medium block per pass than the brand's smaller 2½-inch option.
The bridge handle gives room to hold the baren while you guide it across the sheet. Start with a proof and check whether the rubbing path reaches all edges. Compare a different face material if the handling feel matters more than the coverage.

Questions about this product
When should I buy the smaller version?
Choose the smaller face for a small motif or a tighter rubbing path. Choose four inches for more coverage per pass.
Does the felt face replace the ink roller?
The brayer loads ink onto the block. Use the felt baren later to apply pressure to the back of the paper.
How should I compare it with a glass baren?
Compare contact material and the feel in your hand. At the same diameter, begin with a similar overlapping path across the sheet.
