Thread: Question regarding wooden stocks

As a side drift, i saw a knife making article the other day (maybe "the shed" magazine, but not sure), and the guy put the wood for the handles in a tank filled with some kind of densifying liquid and then pulled a vacum in the tank. A amazing amount of bubbles came out from the wood, and it was some kind of hard wood to start with. Then afetr releasing the vacum, he heated the wood up some how to activate/set the stuff. I think it increased the weight a bit, but made the wood bloody hard and resist dents etc.... Maybe you could do it to a stock to look after it?
And please post pics when you start!
