[QUOTE="climb-101, post: 1324226, member: 31921"] i have wondered about stabilizing wood for a stock. i know of a few people that do this for pens and duck calls basically turning them into waterproof block before turning. the process is placing the wood in a clear solution in a vac chamber and drawing a vacuum for a few hours on the wood in the solution. once this is done they have to cook the wood at a low temp to set the solution and harden it. i know some of the wood will double in weight once this is done and makes it a very solid block. I made some spalted tamerak grips for a pistol with some of the wood. [/QUOTE]
