Is sycamore rot-resistant?
Unfortunately, sycamore is one of those woods that has a low decay resistance and easily attracts insects because of its moisture content. Occasionally, it can become damaged with beetles and fungus if not properly preserved. Drying the wood and applying a good sealer may make a live edge sycamore slab last a little longer.
Is sycamore easy to stain?
The fine texture and tight grain structure of sycamore make it difficult for the wood to absorb stains. The pigments may not be able to penetrate the surface and result in a blotchy appearance. They are better left to their novel state and simply bring out their luster with a good wood varnish as a finish.
How to care for sycamore wood?
The delicate coloring of sycamore is unforgiving to acids. To clean away grimes and dust, clean it with a damp cloth soaked in lukewarm soapy water. Rinse it thoroughly, then wipe it with a dry cloth and allow the sycamore furniture or object to dry in the shade.
