The Folding fan is usually made from bamboo, wood, or sandalwood to make for the hand fans' ribs. More common is the bamboo which is picked usually according to their age and pliability for easy carving and craftsmanship. Bamboo is then shaved to reveal the creamy-white colour of its wood and it is then cut to the length, thinness, shape, and size of the folding fans' ribs, and then smoothed to prepare them for carving.
Today, carving machines and carved hand fan ribs of different patterns that serve as design templates are available to make the designing and carving of the ribs fast, uniform, and easy.
