Today women with noble birth in the Kautaha tribe produce the barkcloth. The men plant the Mulberry tree and it takes 2-3 years for the tree to be ready to be cut down and used to make barkcloth. After the tree has been cut, the women then strip off the outer bark and soak the inner bark in water in order to prepare the bark for further processing. The women then place the soaked inner bark strops over a wooden anvil and repeatedly strike the bark with a wooden beater. They continue to do this until the bark is flat. Folding and layering the bark strips while beating them, results in a wider piece of bark than that of the original strips. After all of the bark has been beaten, the bark is set outside to be bleached by the sun. Next, the strips are placed over semicircular boards.

After this, the women then fill in the lines and patterns with pigments such as brown, red and black. These pigments that are used are derived from things such as clay, soot and fruits.
