Life itself is a process of searching. Without this "beg", how can fun be reflected? Life is full of surprises. Let's talk about how this little brother produces surprises in life and looks for rare fun in life.

No. 1 material selection

The little brother didn't have much concern about material selection when making wooden spoons, but took local materials and chose tree tumors in his yard as raw materials. Then why did you choose tree tumor as raw material? There is a lot of knowledge in it. You should know that the formation of tree tumor is because bark, as a transport tissue, once injured, will lead to its own transport system, that is, all nutrients will be cut off at the wound and accumulated slowly. At this time, all nutrients will accumulate in the tree tumor, and the fiber tissue inside the tree tumor will change with time, thus forming a "beech" with diverse colors and beautiful patterns. Beech is a very unique source of wood, but it is also divided into many different varieties, such as birch gall, which is gorgeous but not greasy in texture, delicate in texture, dense and oily, and is generally used to process vases, wooden spoons, pipes and other arts, and is very popular with people.

No.2 tree tumor in the shade?

For fresh wood source, its moisture fullness is very high, and it takes a long time whether it is dried in the shade or soaked naturally. Generally, it is necessary to apply a certain amount of glue or beeswax to the incision and dry the new wood in the shade. If it is naturally dried in the shade, it needs to be placed for more than one year, and the wood will not be deformed after baking for three days. It can be dried in the shade with a machine, which can shorten the time.

No.3 cutting spoon type

After the wood dries in the shade, it is necessary to cut the wood with a spoon. We can first cut off the excess wood by hand with a hand saw, and then cut out the prototype of the spoon handle from top to bottom. Remember not to cut too much, or it will affect the size of the spoon handle. When the prototype of the spoon handle appears, it can be polished with a file to make a round spoon handle.

No.4 Tao Tao Neishao

It is necessary to use an electric grinder to dig out the inner spoon, install a flat-bottomed woodworking milling cutter and slowly take out the approximate shape of the inner spoon. When slowly pulling out the part of the wooden spoon, remember to use less force, not too hard, and keep the inner wall of the wooden spoon evenly scraped. This can not only control the shape of the spoon without deformation, but also keep the bottom in a stable state. The most important thing is to ensure that the final surface effect of the wooden spoon can reach a better state.

After the inside of the wooden spoon is dug out, it can be boiled in pure salt water for about an hour, so that the wood deep inside the wood can flow out and then dry in the shade. The whole process of drying wood in the shade after soaking and cooking in salt water can completely slow down the free expansion and contraction of cells inside the wood, so that the internal force generated inside the wood is not so strong to protect the wood from cracking.

No.5 polishing and waxing wax oil

The next step is the last process of making wooden spoons. Wood products must be polished before being coated with wood wax oil, which is a very important process. Use sandpaper to grind the surface for the first time until the spoon surface is smooth, and then use sandpaper to grind it from coarse to fine. Remember to hold the spoon handle firmly with your right hand, press it in the spoon pocket with your left hand to control the grinding strength, and then grind it up and down or left and right. When grinding to the bottom of the spoon, it can rotate and grind back and forth in one direction in a semicircle arc at the bottom of the spoon, which better protects the whole line from being unnatural.

After polishing, start painting with paraffin oil. Here, why do you paint with paraffin oil? It's actually quite simple. When the wax oil is painted, it will not let you hide the basic visual effect of wood, and at the same time let you thoroughly touch the true feelings of nature in the touch. In terms of functional performance, wood wax oil can completely play the functions of waterproof, mildew-proof, moisture-proof, scratch-proof, ultraviolet-proof and moth-proof. Secondly, the service life is unmatched by others. The most important thing is that wood wax oil does not contain any substances harmful to people and things, and it is a real environmental protection coating. The painting process of wood wax oil is simple and clear, but it has high requirements on the wood surface, so it needs to be polished until the surface is smooth and flat before painting with wood wax oil. You can draw several times when you draw. Take a small amount for the first time, polish it for the second time after it is completely dry, and then brush the wood wax oil for the second time. If there is a requirement for color, it can also be brown, but this mainly depends on personal preference. Generally, it is enough to brush the paraffin oil for two or three times, and then use it when it is completely dry. If you have requirements on the surface thickness or glossiness of wood wax oil after coloring, you can DIY it yourself. In a word, everything depends on you personally.

No.6 finished product

It takes a long time to make wooden spoons with tree tumors, and the process is very complicated, but it should be no problem for wood lovers. The wooden spoon made of wood lumps and decorated with wood wax oil not only retains the touch and texture of the natural wood of the log, but also protects it from deformation and cracking. To tell the truth, wood wax oil is becoming the favorite of wood craft lovers.
