Stabilizing wood is a process where timber is submerged in a vacuum chamber filled with a heat cured resin. The vacuum is then applied and all the air is sucked out of the grain of the timber and the resin pulled through saturating it completely. The resin soaked timber is then cured in an oven leaving it much more durable and highly water resistant.
