How We Stabilize
We stabilize our wood by using a high vacuum and high pressure technique. The wood is impregnated with a polymer resin that renders it extremely stable...this means it is resistant to warping, cupping (almost any wood movement for that matter), as well as water. Some call it "plastisizing" the wood...but that's not quite accurate.
Many other people claim to stabilize wood...but they don't do it properly. Ask them if they first subject the wood to a near perfect vacuum (as a test, ask them how many inches of vacuum the put the wood under. Their answer should be close to 30). Putting the wood under this high vacuum is neccessary to first remove all the air from inside all the cells. Next, find out how much pressure they use to impregnate the wood. We use over 120 pounds of pressure. Don't be suprised if some say "Oh, we just soak our wood in a special hardener overnight."....that's not stabilizing.
It's great for knife handles, pen blanks, bottle stoppers, and a many other types of carvings. Think about stabilizing wood that will be used outdoors, like wood for Duck Calls, Goose Calls, and such. Even wood that is handled a lot will stay nice and shiny regarless of the natural oils from our skin.
Sometimes in our photos of stabilized wood, you will see what looks like "wet spots" on the wood. That is actually resin that hardened on the surface of the wood. It sands right off.
Stabilized wood is very durable, and very hard. If the piece of wood you are looking at has not been stabilized, you should consider asking us to stabilize it for you.
