Product Type: Bracelets

Camphor wood is one of the palest beads Everwood Original strings, and the Cascade Ashbark bracelet uses it for a whole strand of 8 mm rounds. The beads sit in the cream and pale tan range with faint darker lines, so this is the wood bracelet for anyone who wants the material without a dark band on the wrist. Each bead is 8 mm, about 0.31 inch, strung on black elastic stretch cord with a stainless steel accent bead.

  • Palest of the woods. Camphor wood beads run cream to light tan, closer to the color of a pine board than a walnut one.
  • Shows every mark. Pale wood shows skin oil and dirt that dark wood hides, so this strand wants a dry wipe every week.
  • Summer strand. Cream beads sit right with white linen, khaki and a tan watch strap, where a black strand would jump out.

Camphor Wood in Cream and Tan

A wooden bracelet in a pale wood is a different object from a dark one, because it reads as brightness rather than as weight on the wrist. Camphor wood beads fall in the cream to tan range with a faint grain line here and there, so the strand looks close to natural pine or ash at a glance. Against tan skin it blends; against darker skin it shows as a light band. Either way it is the wood bracelet that does not announce itself.

Keeping Pale Beads Pale

Light wood keeps its color if it is wiped, and darkens where it is not. Skin oil is the main thing a bracelet meets, and it collects where the beads touch the inside of the wrist. A dry cloth run around the strand once a week keeps the inside as pale as the outside. Sunscreen and lotion are the two things to let dry before the bracelet goes on, because they soak into open wood and leave a tide line.

A Beaded Bracelet for Light Clothing

A beaded bracelet in pale wood belongs to the light half of the wardrobe. It sits inside white linen, chambray, khaki and cream without contrast, and it picks up a tan leather watch strap as the same family. It comes in three sizes, S/M for a 6 to 7 inch wrist, M/L for 7 to 8 and L/XL for 8 to 9, and Everwood advises the larger size when your wrist sits on a boundary. On a 7 inch wrist the M/L size puts about 22 of these cream beads around the arm.

Cream Beads with a Steel Point

The steel accent bead reads more strongly on a pale strand than on a dark strand, since it is the only element darker than the wood around it. Turn it upward when you want a marker and to the underside when you want the strand plain. Camphor wood is light in weight as well as color, so the strand sits without any sense of a band being there, which is what makes a pale wood bracelet wearable all day at a keyboard.

Ashbark Camphor Wood in Daily Wear

Do camphor wood beads smell of camphor? Not as a worn strand. The beads are cut, shaped and finished, and what reaches you is the color and the light weight, not the raw wood scent.

Can lotion stain pale wood beads? Yes, if it goes on wet. Let hands and wrists dry first, and a cream strand keeps its even tone.

Are light wood beads lighter in weight too? Camphor wood is a lighter species than ebony or rosewood, so a strand of it weighs noticeably less than a dark strand of the same size.
