When you start playing the peach stone bracelet, you will enter the stage of rubbing the plate. An obvious feature at this stage is that walnuts will bite their hands. At this stage, the skin of the peach pit will absorb the oil and sweat on the hands, and the fingers will feel a little rough. All we have to do is make our fingers sweat and let the skin of peach pit fully absorb it. As for how long this stage will take, there is no fixed time. The more you play, the faster you spend. The more developed the sweat glands in the palm, the faster the friction.
After the above-mentioned long-term play, the peach pit will have some obvious changes, such as weight reduction, volume reduction, water evaporation and so on. The peach stone will slowly start to harden, and then you will find that the peach stone bracelet in your hand is slowly turning red. At this stage, the Taoshi bracelet is a shaping stage, which takes about 3 to 6 months.
So what exactly is the red-wiping stage? Its essence is actually a process from sizing to wrapping. After half a year's play, the patina of Taoshi bracelets will become thicker and thicker. At this stage, the walnut itself will undergo great changes: the wood will become hard, the color will increase, and the color will change from red to crimson or purple. At this time, the peach core bracelet has basically taken shape.
