It actually was super exciting.
I wonder how much influence the room/oil temperature has.
I heated mine 2 minutes in the microwave until it became borderline uncomfortably hot.That's another thing. I was tempted to increase the temperature with a light. Currently it's Canadian "normal" room temperature +- 65 deg![]()
...One of these days id like to build a vacuum chamber from a piece of clear tubing large enough to slip a Khukri inside and make two end caps to close it off. I have a vacuum pump for air condition service I could easily pull a vacuum on it to absorb stabilizing chemicals into the wood while on the Khukri. I think Id start with Satisal and treat it as oak for starters. I dont know the effects of stabilizing chemicals on steel or laha for that matter so it may not be possible? It would be fun to experiment with tho.
