Von einem Baobab-Baum werden Baststreifen abgezogen, gebündelt und im Gehöft zu feinen Streifen gefasert, befeuchtet und zu einem dünnen, zweisträhnigen Seil zusammengedreht. Aus diesem wird dann ein stärkeres Seil gedreht, wobei der Fuß des Seilers als Arbeitsgerät dient.

Strips fo bast are taken from a baobab tree, tied up, and unravelled into fine strips at the farm. They are then dampened, and twisted together into a thin, two-strand-rope. A thicker rope is then twisted, the rope-maker's foot serving as a tool.
