How is it possible to make a soft wood perform like a hard wood?
Kebonization is a process where the properties of sustainable wood are being enhanced through bio-based substances being cured inside the wood structure. The wood becomes harder and more stable, and its durability is vastly improved. And as a bonus the process gives the wood a rich, beautiful brown hue. Kebony’s modification methods have been developed through several years of research and development in Norway, Sweden and Canada with extensive cooperation from universities and institutes in Germany, the Netherlands and the USA.
