Some of the most beautiful wood we use is often porous at best and punky, verging on rotten, at worst, especially on our lid insets. Palm woods are variable – porous next to extremely hard as you can see in the side-grain Black Palm in these photos. Over the past few years we’ve come to rely on Cyanoacrylate glue, commonly know as “Super Glue”. We use a CA distributed by Starbond that is very good and much more affordable than those tiny bottles you find at the home building or woodworking stores. Click on the thumbnails as we describe our process. This method is commonly used on our domed lid insets but can be appplied to any porous or punky wood.

Michael, I just wanted to let you know that I am extremely pleased with the beautiful work of yours that I received. The group of stilt boxes is currently being displayed at my best friend’s home in a wonderfully striking area, which I will be taking a photo of and emailing to you soon. Also, the Something Special… I cannot even begin to express the beauty and wonderful craftmanship of the piece. Simply stunning. I can’t seem to take my eyes off of it, and I have passed your web site around to everyone I know that would appreciate it, including a few professional designers, so expect some more orders from Boston! Sincerely, — C.H., Jamaica Plain, MA
