This distinctive bottle opener was hand turned from a blank that was a hand cast composite of stabilized, dyed maple burl and pearlescent urethane resin.
Vacuum stabilization replaces the air within the wood grain with hard acrylic resin, rendering it impervious to dirt and moisture and dimensionally stable.
Urethane resin is the same material that skateboard wheels are made of so it is obviously very tough. It is easily polished to a high luster that emphasizes the unusual grain of the wood burl and pearlescent shimmer of the urethane resin.
