I found this page from a knife making site. It is how to make your own stabilized wood, useing wood hardner. I have not tried it but it could be used for wood reel seats. I am waiting to get the stuff and for it to warm up so I can do it outside, since there is a warning to do it with good ventilation. I guess this is not true stabelized wood but is the only thing I have seen that I could do in my back yard. I think it would be best to turn the seat to close to what you want harden and the re turn to the final shape.
