To help maintain the quality and stability of your Snakewood, we recommend the following:

• Store in a stable environment away from direct sunlight, heat sources, and rapid temperature changes.
• Remove the protective wax coating before machining or applying a finish.
• Use sharp tools and avoid excessive heat during cutting, drilling, sanding, or shaping.
• Apply a finish as soon as possible after final sanding.
• Store finished projects in a stable, humidity-controlled environment.
  

Snakewood is an extremely dense natural hardwood. Changes in temperature and humidity can affect the wood over time, so proper storage and finishing are recommended.
