I just tried to contact K&G in regards to stabilizing and the number is disconnected... anyone know what is going on there? and if they are down, who does stabilizing that I can send my wood to?

thanks

I've used K&G, Wood Lab and WSSI. I've never had any issues with product quality. I don't use Wood Lab anymore because he has a $3000 minimum order. I've been using K&G because they are well known and the turn around time was much quicker than WSSI. WSSI is a little cheaper than K&G, and Mike is a great guy.
 
Wow! Three grand minimum!? Wouldn't it be great to be able to turn down orders of under 3k?

K&G's phone number is 928-537-8877
Perhaps you dialed an old number or mis-dialed? They are who I have used over the past several years.
This is a link to their stabilizing website with answers to most questions you could think to ask. http://www.kandgstabilizing.com
 
I use Wood Dynamics located in Pennsylvania, Mel is a good guy to deal with and very reasonable on pricing. One thing I found was the Wood Dynamics stabilized blocks weigh less than K&G's.

Definitely had good experiences with Mel as well. All of my double stabilized blocks were done by him.
 
thanks guys (and gals maybe) i had tried the 800# on the site on more than one phone and had zero luck. i'll call the other number... sometimes this place is like the stone cutters on the simpsons "911 is no good... the REAL number is 91... 2" lol, and my order is way under 3k. as stated, that would be awesome to be able to turn down orders for under 3k. not even someday by the looks of my account.

Can you explain double stabilized?

Could be wrong, but I think he means double dyed, rather than stabilized, which is done at the same time as stabilization. They dye the wood with 2 different colors, and softer areas take up more of one color, harder (or denser would be a better term) parts take on more of the second color. This gives some very unique looking woods. You can google double dyed woods and see lots of examples of them.

Jrmysell is correct. I meant double dye, my apologies. I have a thread with several samples of blanks stabilized by Mel including double dye. Also Mel has no minimums either.
