    Search in the Turning forum with the search term "stabilizing". For instance http://www.sawmillcreek.org/showthre...ht=stabilizing

    Further poking around in the turning forum led me to this site: http://www.stabilizedwood.com/wssi.shtml

    Cactus juice; http://www.turntex.com/index.php?pag...art&Itemid=121

    It's a little bit of a process to use but it adds a bunch of strength.

    Hey John,

    Do you know anyone who could run some test parts for me with Cactus juice?

    PM sent with a reference to the "other forum". Publicly, I'd contact the guy that sells the cactus juice and see if he'd do a sample and/or do them on a fee basis.

    How much stronger than a riven wood bent lamination would you need?

    SMith and Company's CPES Penetrating 2 Part Epoxy. Good stuff for impregnating wood.
    Sawdust is some of the best learning material!
