oil finish
Well, Mr. O,
At the reservation stage
We were told that Jaeger-LeCoultre, Rolex, etc. will be stored.
And the watch case of your choice is
They call it "oil finish."
You can oil it yourself.
I assume you also want to enjoy the aging of the watch case.
Sounds interesting.
By the way, oil finish.
Can any wood be used?"
This is not the case.
We are often contacted by our clients.
I would like to take this opportunity to give you some guidance.
It is only classified by soulbird experience, though.
Woods unsuitable for oil finishing are
Maple, horse chestnut, Hawaiian koa, black persimmon, zelkova ....
These woods look more beautiful with a mirror finish.
Woods suitable for oil finishing are
Walnut, oak, teak, ●● rosewood,
Bubinga, Wenge ......
These woods can be mirror finished.
For oil finish,
It has a candy-like atmosphere when used for a long time.
The change to an antique watch case will be enjoyable.
The oil-finished watch case that arrives in your hands is
Polishing and oiling has been completed by Soulbird.
Therefore, in maintenance by the owner himself
No special skills are required at all.
Just apply oil!
Oil on a T-shirt toothpick, etc.
It's like a steady application.
Quite, it is easy.
The T-shirt I used at this time was toothless.
Do not throw them away, but store them in a plastic bag.
Because it is soaked in oil.
We will use it again the next time we apply oil.
The oil used at Soulbird is a product called "FeedenWax.
This wax contains orange oil, which is used for musical instruments, etc.
Please refer to it!

Rose type?
Now, when Mr. O comes to the store.
Several watch case stocks suitable for oil finishing were available!
First, walnut.
This is a material that appears frequently on this blog.
It is perfect for oil finishing! It is the perfect wood for oil finishing!
Next is bubinga wood.
Rose-based, currently listed on the CITES list, and
It's an ikkei material!
This Bubinga wood is very beautiful even with a mirror finish.
Recently, we have been introducing more and more products with oil finishes.
because
After diligently applying oil and polishing to a shiny finish
Quite beautiful!
Looking at this beautifully changing bubinga.
It makes me want to "take care of it more and more."
How will it change in 50 years, and 100 years from now?
Who will be using these watch cases in 200 years?
We will take care of them with this in mind.
Not just for storing watches.
It is also a great way to keep up with a watch case that changes beautifully with care.
I think it is romantic and fun.
How about ebony?"
Mr. O checked various materials.
＞ Dear O
How about ebony?"
> Soul Bird
Yes, we usually deliver with a mirror finish.
It is also very beautiful in an oil finish."
This is where the miraculous striped ebony comes in.
Simply applying oil to striped ebony is not enough.
It will not give a beautiful finish.
First.
Polishing is performed over and over again until a level is reached where delivery can be made without oiling.
The work continues to be quite tedious.
After that work is completed.
Apply oil.
This way, a beautiful watch case is completed, which is different from a mirror finish.
Mr. O, after careful consideration
You ordered it in this "striped ebony oil finish"!
Thank you very much.
I'll try to take a commemorative photo as soon as possible.
Today it looks like Rolex.
Leather appears to be chamois leather.
Grazing lamb suede beige.
We will polish it diligently and finish it into a beautiful watch case.
Souvenirs not available by mail order
Souvenirs from Mr. O!
Thank you very much for your concern.
When I had it at snack time, I found it to be
Yum!"
It is also like a Japanese confectionery
It also has a Western confectionery feel to it.
It is an exquisite product.
This is so good!"
The package includes
Mr. Shiraeido's...
Kannonji Manju."
Apparently, it is not sold by mail order.
It seems to be a candy that can only be bought locally.

We will make a beautiful watch case for you.

The case that you shipped to us.
We are pleased to inform you that we have received it safely.
