The stabilizing process uses a vacuum to remove all the air from the wood, replacing it with a heat activated resin that in turn forms a polymer backbone in pieces that would otherwise be too fragile to use. Additionally, resin of different colors and shades can be used to create various effects. When colored resin penetrates wood, it results in unique coloring of the wood, artistically highlighting splendid natural grain figures.

Our stabilized blanks are chosen for their extreme figure caused by spalting, a deterioration of the fibers of the wood by fungi. Stabilized blanks may still may contain voids or areas that are softer than others. This is normal, and, as with any natural wood for turning, you may need to fill voids or reinforce areas with CA glue. Stabilization does add some reinforcement, but the pieces are still essentially wood and may not turn and finish like plastic.



Shipping Details:
 We will combine shipping whenever possible. We will send you an updated invoice for multiple items. Some items may have to ship separate due to size or location. We have two different warehouse locations.


The Fine Print:

Orders will be processed and shipped ASAP!

We unconditionally guarantee every piece of wood we sell. We want you to be happy with your purchase! For that reason, we carefully inspect each piece before shipping to ensure that it meets the highest standards of quality.

Because wood is a natural product, there are unique variations from one piece to the next. You may see knots, burling, wormholes, flaming and irregular grain. Most wood-turners value these characteristics, as they enhance the natural texture of the finished piece.

We try our best to represent all aspects of the piece being auctioned with detailed photos.  If you require additional information, please just let us know.

If you are dissatisfied in any way with wood you receive from us, please return it and we will be happy to either issue a replacement or provide a refund. (You will be responsible for the shipping cost to return the piece to us.) 

We are always happy to answer any questions about our wood! You can call us toll-free at (800) 556-3106, or message us. Check out our website for more stock and pricing information on custom orders.
