Blue Spruce Toolworks refers to their chisel handles as being “Infused with Acrylic.” They certainly have some beautiful handles on their tools. Does anyone know how you would go about infusing tool handles or anyting else with acrylic, or other finishes? Do you think you could achieve the same effect by letting the part soak in finish for a time, or is it something akin to pressure treating of wood for decking etc.?

Only information I have is that they use a vacuum process: http://blog.woodworking-magazine.com/blog/Blue+Spruce+Mallet+A+New+Favorite.aspx

Not something to be done at home. Industrial process. Probably autocalve, etc.

And if you make your own handles.. A final sanding and hand oils over time will be to your liking I would suspect!
