As a result of the indigenous wood
used, the carvings often come as a beautiful mixture
of black and brown or as a pure black wood that
gives a brilliant look.
When caring for the wood products it is important
to remember that all fine wood products need some
moisture. While displayed indoors at home or business
wood may tend to become dried out and may crack.
To prevent or reduce the chance of damage it is
best to polish wood items at least once a month
with a high quality wood polish. Spray-on polishes
are not effective as they are used mostly for
removing dust from finished wood and do not add
adequate moisture. Most craftsmen will often use
a shoe polish which matches the wood color as
this not only adds moisture but a shine to woods
such as ebony or mahogany. Rub the polish in using
a clean cloth or shoe brush then buff with a clean
soft cloth. |
