NDF™ — Natural Damping Fibers
Nature made the material.
We made the stabilizer.
Every Stubstick starts with real hardwood and its unique internal structure.
Wood’s cellular structure, viscoelastic behavior and direction-dependent properties help it dissipate vibration energy through internal friction.
NDF™ means Natural Damping Fibers: our name for wood’s inherent damping properties. It is not an insert, filler or added part.
Why natural hardwood?
Natural vibration damping
Internal friction can dissipate vibration energy.
Individual character
Each species has its own density, grain and structure.
Solid hardwood construction
A real hardwood body, not a wood-look finish.
Natural beauty
Every piece has its own grain and character.
The Stubstick difference
Real hardwood meets purposeful stabilizer design.
Stubstick — Built from Nature. Backed by Material Science.
How NDF works
Three simple steps.
1. Vibration enters the wood
Wood has a complex cellular structure. When vibration travels through it, the material deforms and begins to dissipate some of that energy.
2. Internal friction does the work
Wood is a natural composite of cellulose fibers and a lignin-rich matrix. Its viscoelastic behavior creates internal friction as it deforms.
3. Energy becomes trace heat
Some mechanical energy is dissipated as tiny amounts of heat. This internal damping helps vibration decay.
Wood’s damping properties are documented. Results depend on species, mass, mounting, bow setup and conditions. Stubstick-specific vibration reduction has not been independently measured. Material reference: USDA Wood Handbook, Chapter 5.
