From Tree to Bracelet: How Six Paths Wood Beads Are Made
1. Harvesting the Sacred Wood
- Only heartwood (central xylem) is selected—higher oil content (23%+) and denser grain
- Trees grow slowly in harsh alpine conditions (2-4cm diameter; 8cm is rare)
2. Drying & Stabilization
- Air-dried for 3+ years to prevent cracking (wet wood splits post-production)
- Test for dryness: Dry bark peels easily; greenish tint indicates moisture
3. Precision Crafting
- Beads are hand-polished to 99.2% roundness (laser-measured)
- Drilled with 1.5mm diamond bits for perfect holes
How to Care for Your Six Paths Wood Bracelet
Golden Rules for Longevity
- Avoid Water – Cracks fibers (water reduces surface tension by 37%)
- No Sun/Heat – Store in sealed bags at <55% humidity
- Clean Gently – Use soft cloth + lukewarm water (no chemicals!)
Patina Formation Timeline
- 0-3 months: Pale yellow (new)
- 3-12 months: Amber transition (oxidation begins)
- 1+ year: Ruby-brown gloss (full patina)

- Hand-Rolling (Daily 15 mins) – Warm beads in palms to activate oils

Pro Tips
✔ Olive oil (1 drop/month) enhances luster (avoid walnut oil—too dark)
