About Handmade by Tom
what is stabilized wood
Stabilized wood is wood that has been impregnated with a stabilizing resin. The resin fills the pores and voids in the wood, making it more stable and resistant to moisture and temperature changes. This process also makes the wood stronger and less prone to warping and cracking.
Stabilized wood is Not waterproof. The wood is still there. It is water resistant but will absorb water.
Stabilized wood offers a unique combination of beauty and durability. The process of stabilizing wood requires some specialized equipment and materials, but it's a worthwhile investment if you're looking to create a high-quality, long-lasting product.
veg tan leather
Vegetable tanning is one of the main leather production methods in use today: approximately 10% of all leather is vegetable tanned. This technique involves using natural vegetable tannins to alter the protein structure of the hide, causing it to become leather.
Vegetable tanned leather takes 30-60 days to produce, making the products generally more expensive.
Vegetable-tanned leather is considered higher quality and will last longer than synthetically treated leather. It takes at least 28 times longer to make, which is part of the reason why vegetable-tanned leather only makes up roughly 10% of all leather available today.
