I have recently gotten access to some black walnut... what would be the best way to go about getting it stabilized and is it worth using for rods??? Re: black walnut

Thomas: There are several great stabilizing companies out there and we've used about all of them. I would encourage you to go to www.woodlab.biz and check out Michael's website. We send nearly all of our wood to Wood Lab now and are very happy with every aspect of his process, plus he's a GREAT guy to boot! He's the man I would suggest you talk to.

If it is green, don't wait too long to get it stabilized or at a minimum you should seal the end grains to slow moisture evaporization out the ends which will cause it to check/crack. Re: black walnut

Thomas: Kerry touched on a VERY important point. Your wood has to be dried to no more than 10% moisture content before it can be stabilized. We kiln dry all of our wood down to 6% to 8% moisture before it goes out.

Black walnut has climbed to the top of my list after my last order from Steve! It is a great looking wood and when finished the grain has almost a 3D type look. It is a great wood and easy to work with! Re: black walnut
