1)
rubbing urushi part against urushi will cause scratches.
never forcefully rub urushi against urushi

when using wooden urushi penrest, never rub pen against the urushi penrest.
only gently & lightly put the pen on the penrest.
use the wooden urushi penrest mainly for display purpose
3)
for heavy / frequent use, use the 3 slotted penrest
the 3 slotted penrest is constructed from softer material than urushi, so it usually won't scratch urushi.
