Are agarwood prayer beads afraid of water?
A netizen asked: Are agarwood beads afraid of water?
While searching online, I found numerous errors in the information, no wonder there are often victims who have used online information to make agarwood beads…
Of course, agarwood beads are afraid of water!!!
The higher the oil content and the finer the fibers, the faster or slower the beads will resist water seeping in!!!
Agarwood is the resin produced by plants of the Thymelaeaceae family after injury.
After the tree decomposes, the injured parts (oil and fibers) continue to coexist with the soil and bacteria.
Thymelaeaceae trees naturally have coarser fibers than hardwoods (used for furniture making), so they swell more easily when exposed to water!!!
Although agarwood that has been mineralized for thousands of years resembles petrified wood… The texture is generally fine, with high oil content,
so I don't recommend frequent contact with water.
Attentive agarwood enthusiasts will notice that, regardless of the material used for carving or making beads, many early pieces were made from large, solid wood pieces left
to age naturally by sun, wind, and rain... only after these wood pieces had dried completely were they cut and carved!
Working with damp materials introduces too many uncontrollable factors, causing the finished product to crack, warp, etc., after a while.
Normally, all wood is susceptible to water damage, but furniture is often coated with various finishes to prevent water ingress.
Agarwood beads are not coated, so their owners need to take good care of them.
How can we prevent this?
1. Prepare a protective bag: For unexpected rain, handwashing, sweating, etc., you can place the beads in a protective bag or bag.
2. For brief contact with sweat or rain, simply wipe the wet areas with a clean, odorless damp cloth after wiping . It's
normal to smell the fragrance of the agarwood beads during wiping; allow them to air dry naturally before returning them to the storage box for purification.
3. Over time, if sweat and rainwater have seeped into the beads, you may need to grind or cut the surface of the beads as needed.
Usually, those who purchase agarwood beads from me are very good at maintaining them and haven't reached this stage yet.
