Matt Estlea | Turning Rotten Wood into Stone @MattEstlea | Uploaded 10 months ago | Updated 1 minute ago
Stabilising wood is the process of forcing stabilising resin into the grain of wood in order to create a more durable, stronger and heavier material. But thats just the beginning. Because as you'll see in this video, there's so much more you can do with this incredible addicting process.

🕵️‍♂️ WHO AM I?:
My name is Matt Estlea, I'm a 28 year old Woodworker from Basingstoke in England and my aim is to make your woodworking less s***.

I come from 5 years tuition at Rycotewood Furniture Centre with a further 1 year working as an Artist in Residence at the Sylva Foundation, which is where I began growing my business. I then returned to Rycotewood to teach Evening Classes for 2 Years, while also teaching City and Guilds Furniture Making for 3 years. They were some long 12 hour days!

In September, 2021. I resigned from teaching at the school to focus on my own business.

In addition to all that studying and teaching during the week, I occupied my weekends working at Axminster Tools and Machinery in Basingstoke. For 5 years, I helped customers with purchasing tools, demonstrated in stores and events, and gained extensive knowledge about a variety of tools and brands. I discontinued this job role in 2019 to focus on teaching at Rycotewood and my own business.
