Working with green, fresh cut wood is easy, fun, and, oftentimes, all that is available. It can be challenging to stabilize as it dries. Whether you are a professional woodworker or a hobbyist, Pentacryl wood stabilizer will keep the integrity of your masterpiece by preventing cracking, splitting, and warping as the wood dries.
Our revolutionary liquid wood stabilizers are safe and easy to work with. Pentacryl will reduce air drying time to stabilize and prevent green wood from shrinking or warping without unwelcome and harmful fumes, odors, and staining.
Quick and Versatile Wood Treatment
No Discoloration
Pentacryl treated and dried wood will look and feel like natural wood. It will also help to maintain the wood’s natural color. The surface can be sanded, stained, glued, wood burned and will accept a finish.
Easy and Effective
Complete saturation and controlled drying are keys to using Pentacryl successfully. Soaking the wood is the most effective, but multiple coats can also be brushed or rolled on larger pieces. Pentacryl green wood stabilizer has been used successfully on many species of softwood and hardwood including challenging fruitwood, bamboo and other exotic wood.
Multiple Benefits
Pentacryl is the perfect choice for treating wood cookies, carving and wood turning blanks, green lumber, and fresh milled wood slabs.

The product says it will not discolor your wood. Not in my case.I submerged this good size Apple bowl for 24 hours. You can see what it did. I was hoping it would help avoid the cracking that fruit woods often suffer from. A) it totally ruined the clean, blond color of the apple wood and I still got a decent crack.I contact support 45 days ago with pictures and a request to help me understand what I may have done wrong. Crickets. They have ignored me.

We recently had a tree removed from our backyard and we converted a stump of it into a beautiful table. This product had to be applied monthly for one year to protect the exposed part of the table from cracking and maintaining its look, So far, so good.

First time user here. It worked great on the small oak disk. I soaked for about 4 days and dried inside the house. The larger pieces soaked for 2 weeks outside in colder weather, dried for 2 weeks outside in colder weather and they all cracked. Lesson learned. Soak and dry at room temperature

We used this on Cottonwood wood cookies before putting them in the kiln. They came out great, no cracking with the bark still attached. We’ll definitely be using it again!

I lost 139 sugar maple tree in a storm. We had the tree company cut a 4 inch slice of the trunk. To keep it from cracking and developing mold, we used the Pentacryl to preserve the wood. It is now "resting" enclosed in a paper wrap in the garage for a couple of months, then it will be sanded smooth and will be used as a wonderful table top, that has character and beauty of a magnificent tree. A new autumn blaze maple has been planted. We got the idea for this product from a woodworker. It was easy to apply, over a two week period, and did penetrate through the wood. I was very pleased.

I purchased based on previous reviews. I had just cut down a tree in my yard and gotten some nice pieces to make into a table with table top. I put the pieces on a tarp and brushed this on, used it all for what it’s worth. It’s oily so be careful as it’s a messy job. I’ve stored the pieces in my shed so after the winter I’ll see if this prevented the wood from cracking. It was easy to clean up brush and hands with soap and water.

This is supposed to prevent wood shrinkage and cracking. I used it to prevent a 3" thick disk from cracking to make a table top. My disk split anyway, probably not as bad as it would have if I hadn't used the Pentacryl, but it did crack.My disk was pretty big and I made a tank from 4 mil plastic and bricks to soak it in the Pentacryl. Perhaps I needed more but it's expensive. The amount should have been correct and it soaked with one side immersed in it for about a week, but when I took it out to dry, after awhile it cracked. If I use it again I'll set up a pump to soak it on both sides but it's pretty viscous and hard to pump.As I said I think it would have cracked more so I'm not fully dissatisfied with it, and I can't heartily recommend it.
