Steps In Making Stabilized Wood Blocks

By Walter Kelly


The resources and uses humankind gets from trees is great. The leaves provide shade from the unforgiving sun and the tress themselves provide valuable oxygen for people to breathe in. The most valuable though, is the lumber given by trees when cut down. When fire was discovered, it was through the use of wood being burnt and it is humanities oldest and greatest tool. Not only did trees give use of fire, but also many uses as well. From being made into the walls of homes and being the infrastructure to most buildings to being the first weapon crafted together with stone. The lumber also helped building vessels for naval warfare and aided in the birth of the age of exploration.

The natural element that makes up the bodies of tress can be moved in many ways that most do not imagine of. The temperature and humidity could affect the lumber, making them warped from the shapes they used to have and making it expand. Stabilized wood blocks is a product of the method to prevent it warping shapes.

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.

Drying it out is pretty simple operation. All one needs to do is place it inside for eight hours to make sure that the wood will not be moist on the inside or wet in anyway. A temperature of two hundred fifty Fahrenheit should be the ideal and make sure it is in there for as long as it can be. Any form of moisture will make the stabilizing fail.

After setting up the vacuum chamber, prepare the material to be placed inside it. The first thing is to take the piece of what is need, so time is not wasted in multiple attempts. Remember to make it as small as possible for it to fit inside and to not waste time later. The woods needs to be as close to zero percent for it work, if it is left too wet, the resin will not work and it will fail.

Finally the cool the wood down because risen will react to heat. Cool everything down and place them inside the jars and use the hoses to fill it up with risen and leave it alone for six to eight hours before taking it out and the product will be finished.
