Timber stabilizing with the Mad Scientist
from Fire and Steel · host Toby Murrill
EP29 John Luke aka the Mad Scientist was a blast to talk to he is incredibly knowledgeable about many subjects obviously including timber stabilizing and colouring. After his career as a paratrooper he went on to join the army Golden Knights parachute team traveling the world doing competitions and demonstration. He then became a stay at home dad for the best part of 20 years and made knives for the sake of staying sane in between all the nappy changing and nose wiping. He quickly realized he wanted to start stabilizing in house. From there he spent time developing a system to allow him to get the results in the quickest time possible. Eventually allowing his work to be recognized all over the world. He gladly shares some of that with us in this interview.
