    No, it's not stabilized. True Desert Ironwood ("Olnea Tesota") is so dense, it not only doesn't need to be stabilized, it actually CAN'T be stabilized, as the pores are too tight to accept the resin used for stabilization. It will hardly even accept any finishes, since they can't penetrate into the wood. In fact, the recommended "finish" is simply polishing with progressively finer grits followed by a buffing compound. Polishing brings out the depth in the grain and intensifies the brown/orange color as if an actual finish were applied on top. Those grips were finished this way. This stuff is so dense, it won't even float. It's like working with stone.

    There are lots of tree species called "ironwood" that grows throughout the US, and I believe all of them can be stabilized. Olnea Tesota is a member of the pea family, and it only grows in the Sonoran Desert. After the plant dies, it can sit in the desert for many decades, where it dries rock hard but never rots. It has natural chemical resistance to insects and decay.
    Alright, that is very cool. Thanks for sharing.

          How do you like those grips? Ive been thinking about getting a set for my gp100.
          The only thing better than having all the guns and ammo you'd ever need would be being able to shoot it all off the back porch.

          • Nice for small hands................I shoot it, but it's actually the wife's. Perfect for her hands. Mine, a bit small for me, but they are very nice quality grips. If your not aware, try Chig's grips. Makes some reasonably priced grips.

              Appendix (AIWB) carry would be the way to go with that pocket gun!

              • I'd try that but I'm afraid I would print like I had a side by side double barrel down my pants!

                      • Has that S&W got a Hillary Hole in it?

                          I thought you knew me better than that? LOL
                          I'm no expert, but generally when you see a stainless hammer and trigger? There's no Hillary Hole
                          Not sure any 640s came with stainless triggers? I added that, gunsmith rounded and smoothed, from Numrich
                          Guns matter and Hillary Holes are unacceptable.
