Anyway, one of my tests didn’t really go well. It was supposed to be stabilized wood in the end. Unfortunately, the graphite liquid could not be properly impregnated into the wood. My concept was wood stabilized on one side, and wood material transformed by anodization on the other side.
Was the graphite the dung, or the material of the wood?
And just to add a little something extra material-wise. There is high-quality charcoal made from oak wood. It is almost like metal but a porous material. It has a pure glow, a characteristic smell, and a metallic structure. Well, I would like to stabilize that. Its production is a bit interesting.
How well does it hold together?
The graphite was not viscous enough to be absorbed into its wood fibers. Then anodizing was the other problem, as well as the roughening so that the remainder of the wood could be stabilized. ![]()

Oh, this needs to be cut, and yes, it really takes strength for it. In raw form.
I was just about to ask if you were trying the impossible right off the bat? ![]()
I can form a hard surface coating on wood. Raw, it doesn’t make much sense. If you process it, it chips off, it comes off. But if it is incorporated into the wood or transformed, then the situation is different. It can be sold by itself without processing.
Geppetto gets a little cut here and there, and [he’s a] millionaire…
Hey, from a technological standpoint, I can solve things. That doesn’t mean I won’t work with it. I also need to build up resources and acquire parts from somewhere. So I am forced to sell the cheaper beech pieces that I stabilized. I showed what just arrived during a conversation with @Janos_Groszeibl. The paint was one of the main points, then the knife set. The basic decision is everything, only creation from the black shop and stabilized wood comes first. This way, I am not financing this from my salary. I must say, slowly but I am making progress. I think I’ll be there within half a year.
Is there a house plan/arrangement for Dani regarding the 21700?
If you want, I’ll search online. Pik Pak will probably be a 3D printing file, but can it be imported into a CNC router? It can be fabricated from solid wood, ABS 3-4, or soap plastic.
Here are 4 types
Let’s talk about a stand/item in the not too distant future, I might be interested in one in a grayish color. ![]()
I have a few fine grey pigment paints. But as I also told János, that is also an experimental period.
Oops, grey has 50 shades.
But let’s set that aside. There is a German company that achieves wood durability through repeated vacuum thermal modification. Those oaks will be such beautiful greys with approximately 1-1.5% shrinkage.
We can talk about the “knife handle” too… ![]()
I’m waiting for a Damascus Santoku from an
Ugh ugh ugh, that’s hard work. How many pages?
88, plus he puts a stepped pattern on it. The project has been running since the beginning of summer, he is only doing it as a hobby. The basic concept is a deer antler for the handle…
Deer antler is a sure thing, but that also needs to be stabilized. About 2-3 months ago I got a giraffe bone knife. It was bigger and massive, worked as one piece. Between the guard and the handle there was only a bronze crossguard. It was polished so well I could see myself in it. I wasn’t even interested in the blade ![]()
