1, startup phase

First, the new white stubble walnut is in hand, which needs deep cleaning to remove impurities such as pulp residue on the surface of walnut. After that, we reached the first stage of our game and laid the foundation. In the last article, I mentioned the importance of startup. Dry brushing is to brush off the frost on Wan Wen walnut, so that the surface oil will slowly precipitate and form a shallow patina. It laid a foundation for future play, and walnuts also had a preliminary color. At this time, the color of walnut is the color of its own cortex, which is yellow.

2. Hanging porcelain table

After the initiation stage, walnuts reach the second stage, that is, the stage of hanging porcelain and brightening. Wan Wen Walnut keeps playing and brushing in your hands, and the overall brightness of the walnut surface will continue to improve. This is the so-called porcelain hanging stage, which is the preliminary preparation for the formation of patina. This stage is the stage when the color of walnut becomes lighter. If the porcelain is hung evenly, the patina will look good. The formation of patina is actually constant brushing. I recommend nano brush as an ideal tool. Hard nano-brushes can be selected according to the surface lines and used in places with deep lines.

3, patina coloring

Here we summarize the patina coloring as a stage, because the patina and coloring of walnuts are carried out at the same time. The so-called seven-part brush and three-part plate is the patina coloring stage of our Wan Wen walnut. Walnut keeps playing in the field. After hand brushing, sweat absorption, oil absorption and brushing, walnut becomes more moist and smooth. At this stage, walnuts will slowly change from yellow to brown and then to red, which is the eclipse of walnuts. Whether the color is bright red is related to the cortex, personal physique and gameplay of walnuts. If you want to show bright red, you must follow the principle of never leaving your hand.

4. Jade Stage

A pair of walnuts takes three winters and two summers to get tired. When the walnuts in our hands have gone through a long process of patina and coloring, they have officially come to the jadeite stage that countless literary lovers yearn for. The intuitive change of walnut jadeite is: ruddy and very bright, moist as jade. Why does walnut absorb sweat and oxidize to form an oxide layer, which looks crystal clear and smooth, with light or sunshine?
