Product Information
Full details
The Janrax Large Wooden Hand Manikin is designed for artists seeking a detailed and poseable reference tool for drawing and studying hand anatomy. Its key benefit lies in providing a realistic, three-dimensional model that aids in understanding proportions, finger articulation, and lighting effects. A potential caveat is its fixed right-hand orientation, meaning a left-hand model would be needed for comprehensive study.

Is this manikin for the left or right hand?

What is the primary use for this manikin?

How large is the manikin?
The manikin is approximately 12 inches tall, including its base.
Can the fingers be posed individually?

What material is the manikin made from?

How should I clean the manikin?

Troubleshooting
Joints feel stiff or loose
For stiffness, gently work the joint back and forth. If too loose, consider a small drop of wood glue in the joint socket (use sparingly and allow to dry completely before posing).
Wood has minor scratches or marks
For light marks, a soft eraser may help. For deeper scratches, a very fine-grit sandpaper can be used carefully on the affected area, followed by a light wood polish if desired.
Manikin does not stand stably on base
Ensure the base is on a flat surface. Check if the manikin's connection to the base is secure. If loose, a small amount of adhesive might be needed.
