No more cracked wood stocks on big bores?

Super Wood, 50% stronger tensile strength than steel at half the cost and 80% lighter. I’d love a 1911 frame made of this.

A stock out of this for my 500 Jeffery sounds wonderful. I'm guessing it won't warp with moisture like normal walnut?

Some questions that I have:

How will it take stain?
What tooling does it need to cut and shape it?
Will it take checkering?
Cost?

I don’t think you could stain it unless it’s purely on the surface. It would be cool to see how walnut could turn out. Someone call the company.
