Sealing
All works of art have been repeatedly oiled and polished with the utmost care and accuracy. This makes the little beauties insensitive to environmental influences, such as sweat, dirt and water. After the final treatment, and when they are completely dried (about 14 days), the objects are really resistant against sweat and saliva (DIN V5316). The oil I use is suitable for children's toys (DIN EN 71 part 3).
Abrasion
Nevertheless, it is possible that - for whatever reason - the sealing may fade.
In this case, you can send it back to me (up to one year after purchase), I seal it again and polish it - it's FREE! If you have purchased it more than one year ago, you will only have to pay the freight charges.
Simply ask me!
Not in Stock?
Sometimes it happens that one of the works you particularly like, is already sold - unfortunately. I have put these articles in a special section called "Gallery". All TimberCharms in this section can not be ordered directly, they have to be bult first. So, if you want to have one of them, send me an inquiry.
I will be glad to make something similar - - especially for you.
Please forgive me, if I can not offer exactly the same piece!
But unfortunately they are all unique. ;-) But I will do my very best to carve your little piece as beautiful as possible.
Care
Here you find some tips for the care of your little treasures.
After carving the little treasures are repeatadly treated with oil. Then I have polished them so that they are protected against all possible environmental influences for a long time. Here are a few tips to help you have fun for a long time with your favorite piece.
The bigger part of my carvings have been oiled with Lumberjack-Oil. You can oil them with any other natural oil, but please take care that the oil can not become rancid, such as extra virgin olive oil.
Please take note that every oil has influence on the color of your little treasure. Certainly you can use any oil that your do-it-yourself-store offers for the care of wood.
My tips for the care of your favorite:
As soon as you have found the perfect oil, you need a cotton cloth and/or a small, soft paint brush.
In case of emergency you can handle your favorite with a sand paper (grain 320 or higher), so the oil can invade the wood more easy. In most cases this is not necessary.
After you have oiled the little treasure, please wait for approx half an hour. After that it is important to take away the rest of the oil from the surface.
After a drying period of at least one day, you can polish the piece of jewelry with a cotton cloth to a high gloss.
Thereafter, the oil should cure. This period will vary depending on which oil you use. Then your favorite piece remains protected. Now yourjewelry should be protected again.
To be safe, you should avoid your pendant or ring having contact with water.
If you do not want to carry out the procedure described above, you may send your piece.
I will seal it for you and send it back to you - It only costs the postage for the return shipment

Where can I take a look at the TimberCharms ?
It is truly simple: if you are in Schwabmünchen ;-)
in the Luitpoldstr. 1 there is a small store called LEDERPARADIES. There you will find some of the small treasures, certainly not all of them.
I change them regularly.
If you want to see a special TimberCharm , send me a message. I will bring the desired TimberCharm to this shop and you can go there and take a look.
