I kēia manawa pono mākou e pena i nā lako no ka mālama ʻana i nā lako noho ʻahaʻaina, no laila ke ʻike nei ʻoe i ke kumu o kā mākou pena ʻana i nā lako me ka mālama ʻana, he aha nā pōmaikaʻi o ka pena ʻana ma ka hale noho ʻahaʻaina hōkele?
ʻO ka pōmaikaʻi mua ka pale ʻana i ka lāʻau. He paʻakikī nui nā lako hale ʻaina hōkele lāʻau paʻa, no laila ua maʻalahi ke hoʻoliʻiliʻi i ka manaʻo maʻalahi a me ka mahana, e like me ka jade. Inā hōʻike pololei ʻia, maʻalahi ke ʻoki ʻia a ʻaʻahu ʻia paha, e nalowale ana ke ʻano o ka jade, a ua like ka pena me ke kau ʻana i kahi papa o nā mea kaua ma luna o nā lako. ; Ua like ʻo Mimi me ka jade, ʻoiai ʻaʻole i uhi ʻia nā hemahema, akā pono ke ʻike ʻia. ; ʻO nā mea i hana ʻia e ka lāʻau hoʻokahi nō hoʻi nā ʻokoʻa kala maikaʻi, e like me kahi kīnā liʻiliʻi ma ka jade nani, ʻaʻole naʻe; make loa; aka, ua hoemi loa ia i kona hana noeau.
ʻO ka lua o ka pōmaikaʻi nui e like me ke komo ʻana i nā lole nani no nā lako ʻahaʻaina e hoʻomaikaʻi maikaʻi i nā lako ʻahaʻaina. ; ʻO ka lāʻau nani e like me ka nani, maʻemaʻe a mālie, a ʻike -ma-nānā-i waho. ;;
ʻO ke kolu o ka pōmaikaʻi ʻo ia ka pale ʻana i ka lāʻau mai ka deforming. He hopena nui ka moisture i ka paʻa o ka lāʻau. ʻO ka hoʻopaʻa ʻana i ka ʻili o ka lāʻau me ka pena hiki ke pale i ka wai o waho mai ke komo koke ʻana i loko o ka lāʻau, a hiki nō ke pale i ka hoʻoheheʻe nui ʻana o ka wai o loko. E hōʻoia i ʻole e deform ka lāʻau.
ʻO ka hā o ka pōmaikaʻi nui, ʻo ia ka hana ʻana i ka kalena noho ʻahaʻaina no ka manawa lōʻihi. Ma hope o ka lacquering, ʻaʻole pili ka lāʻau i ka lewa, a mālama mau i ka lāʻau hou.
ʻO ka lima o ka pōmaikaʻi nui, ʻoi aku ka maʻalahi o ka manaʻo, maʻalahi e hoʻomaʻemaʻe a mālama. ʻAʻole hiki ke hoʻopaʻa ʻia i ka catheter o ka lāʻau, a lilo kēia mau ʻōpala i wahi e hūnā ai i ka lepo a paʻakikī ke hoʻomaʻemaʻe. Ma hope o ka pena ʻana, ua pani ʻia ka catheter a hoʻopiha ʻia, a hoʻomaʻemaʻe mālie me kahi lole.
