There are so many of us purchasing stabwood mods lately so I thought we should have a thread dedicated to showing them off and caring for them!

Include the name of the mod and if it has an atty on it include the name of that too!!

So since I started this thread I’ll go 1st :pervy:!!

I was curious as to what the Asmodus “official” response would be in regards to polishing/protecting their stabwood mods.

The instructions were to use a lemon oil & beeswax wood polisher. However, there seems to be a different method that MANY stabwood owners have been using on their mods for awhile now.

Asmodus’ stabwoods and others usually come in a matte finish. Some people would prefer a shiny finish. I like matte finishes on certain mods but shiny on others.

Highly polished stabwood colors are more vibrant and have more “depth” to them imo.

I’m not going into details of the process to get a shiny finish since the VU forum has a great thread on it. But in a snapshot it includes ALOT of elbow grease with MicroMesh pads and the application of Renaissance polish. (I’ve discovered that using a small amount of water on the pad helps immensely) Some also will use a mineral oil step as well. Everything you need can be found on Amazon and lots of other sites.

I watched a lot of videos on how stabwood is made. It’s really interesting. So if you’re curious....



Here’s my ongoing project with an Asmodus Minikin V2 in purple stabwood. The colors definitely pop. And it could use some more work but it’s very tiring lol!!

Anyways, I hope this information will be of use to others.

Only these two so far. Some of you know I bought a Thor also, sent it back because it was defective, received another defective one and it’s going back today. Exchanging that for a Lustro.

I’ll post that of course when I get it.

I would like to polish the minikin as it has a couple almost glossy areas that make the matte areas look dull and lifeless. But I like the finish on the SL just fine. Perfectly satin all over,

I really don’t want to take on a polishing project even if it is only a few hours, but I’m sure I’d be happier with the results.

@DeloresRose i absolutely love the color of your V2! It’s gorgeous!! The Lustro is a great mod from all the reviews I’ve seen. I may have ordered one in green 2 days ago :w00t: :lol: !!!

I agree the finish on the SL is perfect as is. Yihi got that right at least!! The finish on my blue Thor also has the very shiny resin and the dullish stabwood areas. I’m going to eventually try to polish that one but right now I’m working on the EOS II...

We have very similar tastes in mods, lol. My minikin is purple technically, but it’s green and blue as well, in about equal measures. Which I like, because I had a devil of a time deciding which color to get.
