Well after several months of research and setup, we are finally in production. Our new stabilized wood system is up and running. On Thursday the senior chemical engineer of one of the worlds largest acrylic manufacturers flew to British Columbia to oversee our first run. It was a really great day! We tested our formula and it’s producing a high quality product.

After several months of extensive research, Mike and I have developed a unique stabilizing system for impregnating small pieces of wood with acrylic resin. We’ll soon be offering stabilized pen blanks, knife scales, knife handles, pistol grips, reel seat and butt blanks, and pool cue blanks in a variety of woods. The stabilized wood will be resistant to moisture, uv light, will not shrink, swell or crack, and the finish won’t wear off.
Our system setup is being overseen by a worldwide leader in acrylics and is being tested by one of their senior technical engineers to ensure we are providing the best acrylic stabilized wood product possible.
In our experience working with spalted maple, soft wood or burl wood, we’ve found that there is always a risk of encountering soft areas, or irregular grain in the wood resulting in tearout and lifted grain. With stabilized wood, you can enjoy the beautiful detail of the spalted and softer woods, without the risk of ruining an expensive piece of wood.
Our new stabilized wood inventory will be online in our new Wood Stabilizer store by the end of November. The new site is already up and running, so please visit us there. www.woodstabilizer.com
