Scored 275 salted Sycamore blanks and now starting a marathon session to get everything stabilized. Using my high tec pickle jar stabilizing pot and Cactus Juice. I bake the blanks at 150 overnight to assure 0% moisture. It's going to take a while.

There is some nice wood in that lot Terry. Cactus Juice in the UK is very expensive and the wood does soak it up. Good luck and well done. Again, nice wood.

Cheers
