Review by Alton
I received a blank of extremely soft Buckeye burl that had been stabilized with Ultra Seal. I had given Charlie-newlondon88 some of this wood because it was too soft to easily save with CA. I rescued it from a burn pile, if that gives you any idea of the condition it was in. I cut it while it was wet and frozen, or probably couldn't have done anything with it. The blank looked as though the stabilizer hadn't penetrated thouroughly, but upon turning it, I was wrong. The shavings dropped nicely, not dusty as I had imagined. Punky looking areas turned as well as solid wood areas. The wood finished nicely, better than normal Buckeye. If home stabilizers can do as well of a job as the factory did with this, Ultra Seal is going to be very popular with pen turners. This stuff works.

It works-----Like many other folks I have tried just about everything on earth to make soft punky blanks useable. The search is over, Ultraseal Wood Stabiliser works.
If I wanted to find fault---I think more emphasis should be made on safety----wearing gloves---well ventilated work area. I would not use this product insde your home.
Blanks do have a long curing time before they are dry---you aint using the blanks the same day you process them. They take several days to cure.
Bottom line---as soon as I can find the money I am buying some.
The blank is dyed Buckeyed Burl with just a drop of green dye. I wanted to see if I could pull dye all the way through the blank.
