I used to do my own stabilizing with knife handle wood. Some time back I decided to try out K&G (Knife & Gun Finishing Supply) after meeting Ken and Brad at a couple of the knife shows.
When I sat down and did the math it turned out that I was paying less to them for the stabilizing than I was spending on the chemicals to do it myself. Not taking into account my labor. Plus they did a great job on everything I have sent to them.
As of today I have had several hundred pieces of wood stabilized by them and everything has turned out great. I have sent them quite a few different types of wood. The colors stay vivid and the wood turns out hard and heavy. Many of the different woods will have even more dramatic figure after stabilizing than it had before.
I have been so happy with K&G that I haven't even bothered with trying out any of the other wood stabilizing companies.
If anyone else has used K&G to have wood stabilized, I hope you will make a post here as well.
I think it is easy to take things for granted and forget to tell others when someone does a great job. (I am guilty) That is why I made this post, because I am grateful for the great job they have done for me.
