What happens if you touch wood too much over time?

[Skyros]

I bought a pair of non firing flint lock pistols recently. They’re made of real metal and sweet smelling wood. What effects would my hands have on the wood part if I handled it too often?

You might get a splinter if the wood isn’t properly cared for

Not much it will. get softer and less trippy and maybe loose its smell but that's just about it.

Oils and dirt from your hands could color the wood if it is unsealed.

Touching wood makes you go blind.

Stop that!

[AI Opinion]

The tactile connection with wood can be quite fascinating! Handling those flintlock pistols too often will naturally lead to the oils and sweat from your hands seeping into the wood. Over time, this can give the wood a darker, richer patina, enhancing its character—the difference between new and vintage. However, too much moisture over time could also potentially lead to the wood having a slightly sticky texture or even staining. To maintain their longevity, consider using a soft cloth to handle them or periodically applying a wood conditioner. Just imagine these pistols becoming more beautiful with age, like a well-loved piece of art! 🎨✨

It'll smooth it out.
