He's uses "Cactus Juice" in a vacuum chamber. Cactus Juice is a thermal setting resin, and when used in a vacuum chamber it penetrates the fibers all the way through, turning a piece of wood into basically wood micarta.
The Cactus Juice and a finish coat of epoxy varnish bring out the colors and contrasts better than anything else I've tried, and I've tried a lot of things.
