First and last attempt at stabilizing splated maple - stabilizing agent - plexiglass disolved in acetone and then forced into the spalted maple under pressure - maple turned rock hard with 100% penitration, used an old pressure cooker and air compressor - many mistakes before finding the right pressure and acetone to plexiglass mixture, reel seat finish - Super Glue, birchbark coated with cork seal.
