The material:
Poplars are deciduous trees. They originate from the willow plant family. The beautiful and especially tall trees are abundant in Europe and Asia as well as in North America and accordingly form many varieties.
What is stabilized wood?
The handle woods by market leader Raffir are subject to a very special stabilization process. First of all the air is sucked out of the wooden pores under vacuum. Subsequently, a purpose-built special plastic is pressed through the material. After curing, stabilized "Raffir-Woods" are extremely resistant to moisture, blood, sweat, (food) juices and thus very hygienic. They require no special care, don’t need to be oiled or impregnated and can be polished to a high gloss without any aids!
Processing information:
Stabilized handle materials by Raffir are easy to be processed and are in their hardness comparable to a hardwood. Drilling, sawing and grinding are easily possible. Small gaps or grain openings cannot be fully ruled out in any type of wood. But these can easily be repaired with super-glue and epoxy adhesives. The processing of stabilized wood is harmless to health, however, as with any processing of wood wearing a dust mask is highly recommended!
Recommended equipment:
- SAFETY GLASSES (ALSO SUITABLE FOR WEARERS OF GLASSES)
