Drawing and Drying
The bamboo strips are then shaped into uniform filaments with a strip-forming machine. To ensurestrenath and durability, the strands are stacked crosswise and naturally dried under controlled temperature and humidity. This drying process is crucialit prevents cracking, mildew, and ensures that the skewers long-lasting.
