Vacuum stabilized 'natural' (un-dyed) buckeye burl is cast with hand-formed, distressed aluminum honeycomb in shimmering shades of soothing green urethane resin for super-premium custom knife scales.
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 wood burl's unusual grain and the urethane resin's pearlescent shimmer.
The aluminum honeycomb used in these scales has been chemically etched for superior adhesion at the metal/resin interface. They are guaranteed not to separate or delaminate.
