Description
Description
Made in Finland by Nikkarien, this sauna hourglass is crafted from heat-treated birch and filled with white sand that runs for 15 minutes. The heat treatment gives the timber a deeper tone that sets off the pale sand, and the compact 11 × 4 × 5 cm form keeps it discreet in the hot room. Turn it as you settle onto the bench and let the sand mark out your session. Like all sand timers, it is best kept away from the direct heat of the stove.

About sand flow
Due to the natural properties of sand, occasional interruptions may occur in operation. This is a common characteristic shared across all sand timers. It can happen due to keystone bridging, where grains of sand momentarily form a self-supporting structure above the outlet, pausing the flow. Thermal expansion can also play a part: exposure to high temperatures, particularly when the timer is placed too close to a sauna heater in an already hot environment, can cause the sand to expand slightly and become more prone to sticking.
Positioning and care
Mount the sand timer lower on the wall, away from the sauna heater. If the sand stops flowing, gently tap the timer to dislodge any temporary blockage; this is typically enough to restore the smooth flow of sand.
