Stabilized wood means "wood that has been stabilized." Wood is immersed in a special resin colored with beautiful hues, and the resin is gradually allowed to penetrate the wood under vacuum. This groundbreaking technique allows the color to penetrate deeply into the wood's interior. The color penetrates naturally according to the wood grain, further emphasizing the wood's original pattern. Furthermore, the resin hardens the wood, allowing it to be polished to a beautiful sheen, resulting in high durability even in harsh environments. There is no deterioration such as fading or yellowing. This special effect has also been applied to the preservation of decaying wooden Buddhist statues and other works of art. This revolutionary technology has become a global sensation, bringing innovation to many woodworkers.
This incense box is made of quince burl wood that has been impregnated with black dye. However, due to the natural grain and color of the burl wood, the resin penetrates in some areas and not in others, resulting in a unique staining effect. This degree of penetration is impossible to replicate, creating a truly artistic piece.
Furthermore, impregnating the quince burl with resin is extremely difficult, making this incense box truly one of a kind in the world.
