• The nib holder will gradually brighten to a true indigo colour with use and handling.
• If the nib holder becomes dry, apply some beeswax.
• Friction may cause the colour or beeswax finish to transfer.
• To prevent distortion and discolouration, avoid soaking in water, sudden temperature changes or extreme heat, and prolonged exposure to direct sunlight.
• When removing the nib from the nib holder, gently pull it out while turning to avoid dislodging the nib mount.
• Due to the nature of the material and treatment, grain and colour will vary between pieces.
• If marked with ink, wipe clean with a soft cloth.
