Preserving raw materials
A solid ash bench and machined iron plates require little maintenance, but they demand consistency. Sweat contains mineral salts that tarnish bare metals and dry out untreated wood when left exposed to ambient air.
Essential periodic care
Wipe down your barbells and plates with a dry cotton cloth after each workout. Twice a year, apply a few drops of drying vegetable oil to the ash wood components to preserve the natural elasticity of the grain.
- Routine cleaning: a quick wipe-down without detergent on contact areas.
- Barbell knurling: a soft nylon brush pass to clear compacted chalk.
- Conditioning the wood: a thin coat of oil applied with a cloth along the grain.
