Just as we take care of our vehicles and luxury designer watches, we take care of our beloved wooden watches. There are a few things we can do to slow down the aging of the wood. It does not need very frequent maintenance, only half a year or even once a year is enough. So how should we maintain a wooden watch?
1) Apply an appropriate amount of oil to the surface of the wood. The right amount of oil will seep into the pores of the wood, reducing the wood's absorption of moisture and causing rot. The wooden watch after applying the oil will also be shinier and look better. At the same time, the oil can make the wood have a certain elasticity inside, and will not be too dry to cause cracking.
In the home, there is a suitable oil that can be used to maintain the wooden watch. Examples include coconut oil, almond oil, and walnut oil. Mix a little melted beeswax with each cup of oil for better protection.
After the surface of the wooden watch has been oiled, it is recommended to leave it overnight. This ensures that the oil can penetrate completely into the wood for better protection and waterproofing. Finally, take a dry cloth to wipe the appearance, so as not to get excess oil on your hands. At this point, the entire wooden table will be very shiny.
2) Try to keep the wooden watches in a dry and normal temperature place. Too high temperature and too low temperature will cause slight changes in the internal structure of the wood. The chemical reaction of the moisture inside the wood due to too high or too low temperature may cause the wood to crack or shrink and deform. In addition, a humid environment will increase the moisture content of the wood surface, which is prone to mold and rot. So it is highly recommended to keep your wooden table in a dry and insect-free place. Try not to expose it to the air and put it in the watch case.
3) Minimize collisions. The wooden watch is not as hard as the steel watch, so when the wooden watch is worn on the hand, pay attention to protection and do not collide with other hard things. This will ensure the integrity of its appearance.
I hope the above maintenance suggestions for wooden watches can help you. Enjoy a good time with your wooden watch!
