I'm interested in the stabilizing where they use a liquid acrylic or other
resin under pressure to impregnate wood, I saw some very dense hardwood
that had been treated with stain and resin, I'm interested in the process
used, pressure or vacuum, resin, color, all the good stuff.
The wood I saw was small pieces for use as knife handles and was
wandering whether they treat larger pieces of wood for other projects.
Here is a link to the one of many sites offering this product and
service. http://www.stabilizedwood.com/main.shtml I have no connection to
this site just posting to show the process I'm talking about, any
information would be great, Thanks, Ben

or one might just soak it in the resin...take a piece of oak and put
just one end (end grain) in some water, , , in no time, you have a
completely soaked board
just a thought

Doesn't work. You're better off using a _vacuum_ to empty the pores of
the wood, then let the resin flow in by capillary action.
