Walnut wood handicrafts are beautifully crafted items made from walnut wood, known for its rich, dark color, fine grain, and durability. This type of wood is often used to create elegant and timeless pieces like furniture, sculptures, bowls, trays, cutting boards, and home decor. The wood’s natural strength and aesthetic appeal make it ideal for intricate carving and detailed work. Walnut wood handicrafts are highly valued for their luxurious finish, smooth texture, and the ability to age gracefully over time, adding character and beauty to any space. These handcrafted pieces often combine functionality with artistry, making them both practical and decorative.
How Albasir’s Walnut Wood Handicrafts Are Made?
Wood Preparation
Obtain Wood: High-quality walnut wood is sourced, ensuring the grain, texture, and color are ideal for intricate handicrafts. Albasir prioritizes sustainability, ensuring the wood is responsibly harvested.
Dry and Plank: The wood is then dried to remove excess moisture, which prevents warping and cracking. Once dried, the walnut is cut into planks or the desired thickness, ready for shaping.
Shaping: Carving the Design
Sketch: Before any carving begins, the artisans sketch the design directly onto the wood. This design could be anything from simple, clean lines to more intricate, detailed patterns, depending on the piece being created.
Carve: Using specialized carving tools, the artisans carefully carve the wood according to the sketched design. This process requires both skill and precision, as walnut wood is dense and requires time to work through, ensuring every detail is carefully executed.
Finishing
Sand: After carving, the piece is thoroughly sanded to smooth out any rough areas. This step is crucial for achieving a polished, smooth surface that highlights the natural beauty of the wood’s grain.
Polish: Once the piece is sanded, a final polish is applied to enhance the walnut wood’s natural luster. A non-toxic wood finish or wax is often used to protect the surface while bringing out the deep color and texture of the wood.

How To Care Albasir’s Walnut Wood Handicrafts
Regular Dusting
Dust your walnut wood handicraft regularly with a soft, dry cloth to prevent the buildup of dirt and grime. Microfiber cloths work best as they gently remove dust without scratching the surface.
For intricate carvings or details, you can use a soft brush or a small vacuum with a brush attachment to reach the crevices.
Avoid Direct Sunlight
Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can cause the walnut wood to fade and lose its rich color. Place your walnut handicraft in a shaded area or away from direct light sources, such as windows or skylights, to prevent sun damage.
Protect from Moisture
Walnut wood is sensitive to moisture, which can cause it to warp, swell, or crack. Keep your pieces away from areas with high humidity, such as bathrooms or kitchens, and avoid placing them near sources of water.
If your piece does get wet, gently dry it immediately with a soft, dry cloth and let it air dry completely in a well-ventilated area.
Clean with Gentle Products
For cleaning, use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner or a wood-safe cleaner that is specifically designed for walnut or fine wood furniture. Avoid harsh chemicals, which can damage the finish or strip the wood of its natural oils.
Always follow the manufacturer’s care instructions for any finish or polish used on the piece.
Re-oil Periodically
Walnut wood looks best when its natural oils are maintained. Periodically, apply a small amount of food-safe mineral oil, beeswax, or a specialized wood oil to restore the wood’s luster and protect it from drying out. Apply the oil sparingly using a soft cloth, then buff the surface to a smooth finish.
This step is especially important for pieces like cutting boards or kitchen items.
Avoid Scratches and Dents
Be mindful of placing sharp objects or heavy items on your walnut wood handicraft to avoid scratches, dents, or gouges. Use coasters, placemats, or felt pads underneath items like glasses or heavy decor to protect the surface.
For larger pieces of furniture, use felt pads on the bottom of furniture legs to prevent marks and scratches when moving the item.
