What is the process of making bracelets?

Many older people particularly like bracelets. The bracelets that people often talk about are also called Buddhist beads, which basically means rosary beads. Especially those who believe in Buddhism will like this kind of bracelets. Now there are many categories of bracelets, mainly including holding beads, matching beads and hanging beads. Different types of Buddhist beads have different ways of playing. When buying bracelets, the most important thing is to learn to distinguish the authenticity. Let’s learn about the detailed production process of bracelets.

The process of making bracelets:

1. Material selection

Since large pieces of red sandalwood are rare and furniture is used whenever possible, the wood used for red sandalwood bracelets is basically leftovers and the specifications are also irregular, so material selection is a very critical step. For example, if you want to produce beads with a specification of 2.0 cm, you should choose materials with a minimum diameter of more than 2.2 cm after being broken into square strips. Of course, if the specifications of the wood are better, the cost of the beads will be reduced, so now materials with better specifications are very expensive, which is what the industry calls "pure materials".

2. Cutting

Cut the material into square strips and prepare them for the lathe. The saw cut when cutting red sandalwood must be small to avoid eating too much "meat". After all, the material is measured by kilogram. Good quality materials can cost several hundred yuan per pound, and the size of the saw cut also determines the cost.

3. Lathe

After cutting the material, make a circle mark and put it on the lathe to cut out the circle in preparation for making beads.

5. Drilling

6. Polishing

7. Rope

A good bracelet must not only be made of top-quality materials, but also be carefully crafted. Only when the creator’s hard work is incorporated into the beads can they have good quality.

For example, when drilling holes, be sure to drill along the grain on both sides. Otherwise, the appearance of the beads will be irregular, which will greatly affect their quality. A good bead will also lose its collection value due to workmanship errors.

It should be noted that newly polished beads should never be oiled. Perhaps many people will do this, but once treated in this way, although the beads will be dazzling at the beginning, they will soon become dull and lose their bright luster once they are handled, and the noble quality of the wood will be destroyed.
