I'm still relatively new to wood stabalizing, but from my understanding walnut is fairly dense and results will vary with stablizing attempts. Walnut burl, however is more porous and a better candidate. Maples and box elder and red coolibuh I've been pretty successful with. Great vid 👌
Hello love you videos. My name is Jeff Martin. I have been kicking around some ideas about wood stablizing with heat curing epoxy. I have only seen this done with very small pieces of wood. Like pen blanks and knife handles. It does get a little expensive to stablize. I do have a vacuum vessel that accommodate very large pieces. Stabilized you can use more punky woods and push the envelope. Do you think people would pay for something like this? Thanks
Hi! Loved the video!!! For how long did you let the wood sit in the vacuum before you let the atmosphere back in. really would like to try this out myself since i already have all the vacuum equipment :) /Thomas
I leave it in the vacuum until there are no more bubbles. Letting the atmosphere in is just as important so the resin can penetrate the wood. I usually go at least over night after letting the atmosphere so it can soak in.
Many say let them soak for twice the time that the vacuum is active. I vacuum for two days and soak for 4 days. I am fairly new but I am having success with this method. I don't doubt that there is a range of methods that can be successful though. I just came upon this one the most in my initial research.
Hi. I want to dye long 2x2 inch pieces so that the wood is dyed all the water through and visible even if the wood is cut. I don't want to stabalise wood, just need it to soak through. Any tips for me, am not finding anything online in the process. Thanks.
Stunning colours my friend.
I am going to try this method.

I was right, she wasn't happy.

Ah yeah! 4:17 and 7:15, so stoked to see what you're gonna put the handles on.
It should turn out nice.
It's like a smurf murder scene, haha.
Pretty cool
Thanks

I was wondering can you do a big block like 18x7x5?? Like this?

You could probably use water with whatever color and a similar process. The vacuum helps the resin/water penetrate.
Can you cure cactus juice by just leaving it outside on a hot sunny day?
So whats the best wood in terms of absorption capabilities??
The softer the wood, it tends to absorb more. Harder/ oiler woods will absorb less if any.
What's up with the fast blue?
Looks nice doesn't it?
