Wood Buddha Statues
In general, Wood Buddha Statues have a smooth, natural feeling that is missing in Buddha statues made from other materials. The visual appeal of wood grain gives these statues a serene feeling, and the color of wooden Buddhas can be calming, too. These Wooden Buddha Statues have been kiln dried so that the wood will not crack due to humidity changes, and you can expect to enjoy your Buddha statue for many, many years.
Types of Wood Used in Buddha Statues
Traditional Wooden Buddha Statues were made out of teak, but because teak is now a protected wood, it is more common to see Buddha statues made from rosewood or sandalwood. Another common type of wood is called Monkey-Pod, or sometimes just monkeywood.
Do Wooden Buddhas Require special Care
Well, you would want to keep any statue that is wood away from woodpeckers!!! But in all seriousness, the wood was dried after being carved into a statue, so that they would be resistant to bugs and resistant to cracking due to humidity differences. So most likely the only real maintenance you will need is to clean the dust off your statue.
