This video clip shows barkcloth beating in Tonga. The intial beating of the raw material aims to open up fibre structures. This brings each
strip of inner bark into a suitable condition to become part of a finished cloth. The following stage aims to
increase the surface area of the tapa until it reaches its greatest possible size without ripping or tearing it. It also aims to make the sheet’s thickness as
uniform and even as possible.
