Steps In Making Stabilized Wood Blocks

By Walter Kelly


The existence of trees has been a big blessing to mankind. The trees give various amounts of resources that help the people of earth survive. The most important, is wood. The miraculously versatile time made from the bodies of tree is one of the most valuable products that man get their hands on. For centuries lumber has become a staple, from small things like tables and chairs to gigantic galleons built for war, its uses has not diminished in the slightest, as it can be used without the use of complicated tools, unlike iron and steel.

Its natural characteristics move in many ways that is hard to fathom. Things like the temperature and humidity of the environment will cause it to expand and take different shapes that make it hard to use. A process used to stabilized wood blocks is known to help prevent the materiel from being ruined and broken because of expansion.

Because of this, a process called resin stabilization is recommended. This is method of attempting to dry up all the moisture inside the item to be used, putting it in a vacuum chamber and removing the air. The last part is to give the resource an acrylic resin to occupy the little holes that water can get into. This makes the finished product stable and steady.

Benefits from performing this is a lot. Mostly used for woods that are soft and to make then hard enough to be used later on because risen adds to it strength. The risen would enable the Chestnut to be hard and durable enough to be usable. After the stabilization the material would be easier to handle then before.

Finding materials is pretty easy too. The important one wood that is not high in oil contents. This prevents it from working. Very durable trees are no good too because the risen cannot cover the inside with it being too dense. A Chestnut is again, the most ideal to get the absolute maximum effects of it.

A vacuum chamber can built from scratch. It can be built in a very simple way and will not any complicated parts. Since the chamber is the place were the project will be placed to stabilized, it is an important aspect of getting it right. To build it buy Mason jars, a hose, a brass pipe, horse clamps and some silicon to seal any leaks that may happen.

When drying, leave the material inside the oven toaster for eight hours at a minimum. The temperature should be at two hundred fifty Fahrenheit. Leave it in for as long as possible to make sure that it is completely dry and that it is a hundred percent dry.

After its done, take it out and use the Vacuum chamber. Cut the piece into as small as desired to be. Make sure to due to not waste anytime later in cutting up the pieces after everything is done. Once it is done, fit inside the jars.

Take not that the risen is heat activated. So cool down the item after it is taken out of the oven. After everything is cool and dry, take the jars as those are used as the chambers. Place the hose inside and fill the jars up with risen. After the jar is filled, let the contents soak for six hours and they should be heated after to finish them off.
