Caring for a Wooden Artwork: 5 Practical Tips
How to keep your handmade wooden piece looking like new for years.
Arakiye Editor·21 June 2026·1 min read
Handmade wooden works last for generations with the right care.
1. Avoid direct sunlight: UV fades the wood and dries the finish.
2. Balance humidity: Very dry or very damp air causes cracking; ideal humidity is 45–55%.
3. Dust with a dry, soft cloth: Do not use chemical cleaners.
4. Apply natural oil/beeswax once a year: It nourishes and protects the surface.
5. Protect mother-of-pearl inlay from friction: The shell surface can scratch.
