Stabilising is an incredibly technical process, constantly evolving, always improving. It is the backbone for amost every knife maker as it elevates their pieces to the next level, for this reason it is the most popular service I offer. I am currently running 8 vacuum chambers, 6 pumps, 4 X 40L pressure pots, 2 High pressure chambers and a full sized kitchen oven just to keep up with demand. I can cater to any quantity from 1 to 1000.

I offer clear, dyed, double dyed and triple dyed blocks, the prices depend on size, quantity, species. If you would like some pieces stabilised please get in touch for an accurate quote.

Processing large pieces of wood down to manageable sizes is always difficult but I have amassed the tools and skills to safely do it. I use a range of machines from chainsaw mills to bandsaws which allows me to take pieces from tree to blank. I can safely deal with anything up to around 1m (39.5”) diameter tree trunks. smaller pieces are processed on my startrite 351 bandsaw.

Drying is one of the most difficult stages to the process as all woods react differently to the process. It has taken a number or years to gain the experience to properly dry the pieces on a large scale.

I use a combination air drying and a vacuum kiln to ensure the best possible quality with a minimal loss.
