    I like that color - on this wood is the resin stabilization only for the colors? Or do you need it to prevent splitting, etc?
    I love living in the past...

    resin stabilizing will not prevent checking in woods that have a high moisture content,the process will not remove water.
    This was Kiln dried material.Was stabilized for the color.

    Do you stabilize your own material or do you buy it as such? Beautiful wood, and another gorgeous brush.

    Once again, very nicely done, the contrasting colors look very good!
