Optimum size wood to stabilize?
So, after many years of woodworking, I've accumulated a bit of exotic and figured wood cut-offs. I'm thinking of sending some off to get stabilized for use as knife scales.
Is there an optimum size I should mill these to prior to stabilizing? Really have no plans for certain size knives. Is it practical to attempt stabilization on my own? From what I've read, having it professionally done makes the most sense. Most of what I have is either surfaced 3/4 or 5/4 rough. Thanks! |
