Title: Wood Stabilizing
Post by: Austy on December 25, 2012, 06:40:02 PM

Been kicking around the idea of purchasing a stabilizing tank for pot call blanks and was wondering if any of you who have been doing stabilizing have any recomendations??  I also would like to know your opinions as to if your were getting one for yourself would you get one just big enough to do 4"X4" square blocks or would you step it up right off the bat to a little larger tank.  I haven't done alot of research but the tanks that I was looking at are made by Turn Tex Woodworks.  Any pointers or recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

I watched the videos by TurnTex and it looks very interesting.  I have a few burl pieces that are too light and weak to turn and serve me no purpose if they aren't strengthened first.  Just don't know how much use I'd get out of the stabilizer to be cost effective.

There are companies that will stabilize wood for you.  Google Wood Stabilization

You can make your own rig pretty cheaply.
