Figure 2. The stages of the molding technique.
Table 1. Comparison of sticking and molding technique.
Sticking Technique
Molding Technique
The sticking process following the pattern in the
sketch calligraphy on the wood board takes up a lot
of time because one should be careful and follow
the shape of the pattern manually.
The process of punching holes in paper and styrofoam to be the main focus. Because if the process
is not neat, the result of moldings is not neat
either. The advantage of the molding technique is
relatively short and does not take much time.
After the annealing process is completed enter the
process of drying after that is painted using wall
paint and given a layer of spray paint clear.
The molding technique does not need finishing
using paint, it just needs to follow the original color
on the wood so that is friendly for the environment.
The calculations of profit earned by size 1125
square inch (in IDR):
Production Cost: 147,500
Selling Price: 450,000
Profit: (selling price – production cost)
450,000 – 147,500 = 343,500
Percentage of profit:
(302,500:450,000) x 100% = 67.22%
The calculations of profit earned from each craft
by size 1125 square inch (in IDR):
Production cost: 141,500
Selling Price: 485,000
Profit: (selling price – production cost)
485,000 – 141,500 = 343,500
Percentage of profit:
(343,500:485,000) x 100% = 70.82%
The percentage of profit earned by size 1125 square
inch is 67.22%.
The percentage of profit earned from each craft by
size 1125 square inch is 70.82%.
4 CONCLUSION
The type of wood industry waste chosen by calligraphy craftsmen is sawdust. Sawdust was chosen
because it hasit a smooth texture and easy to shape. There are two techniques to be used in making
sawdust calligraphy, namely molding and sticking. The molding technique is more profitable and
faster both in terms of time and production process as well as the percentage of profit on the selling
price. Comparison between the molding and the sticking with the same size, the profit of the
molding is 70.82% while the sticking technique is 67.22%. From these results, it can be seen that
the function of sawdust can be increased through skill and creativity to make calligraphy crafts.
Besides, the crafts made from waste can increase the selling value of the craft so that it is profitable
and of course has an impact on improving the economy of craftsmen.
