Stabilization serves three main purposes: first, water repellencylocking (or reducing with an added finish layer) out moisture to minimize swelling. Second, dimensional stability, hardening fibers so wood machines cleaner and holds shape. And third, if desired, color infusion, delivering vivid, lasting tones. For example, black ash burl treated with resin not only resists warping but also takes dye deeply, giving chatoyance and contrast you simply can’t achieve with surface finishes alone. | Get
