No linky from me.. just because.But utube search will turn m right up.First is wood stabilization.Big Jim archery vid.This is his shop tour,bow building.All std,don't need to watch but,keep FF'ing to the part about wood handle blank stabilization.Sort of a springboard into that exciting engineering.vid is the 1 hr 22 minutes.

The next is a cpl of Charles Neil vids.Get past his valley good ole boy thing.It isn't an "act".He may not be the brightest bulb in the pack,but is just a nice guy.The specific vids are "trace coatings" and a second,trace coating cautions or some such.Try it on some scrap.....it's magic.We take it about 3-4 steps further but his vids,like Big Jims show the beginning stages.BW
