[QUOTE="LoneTraveler, post: 1327784, member: 77249"] There is a process of make Future Wood. Bear Archery once use this type wood to make the riser for the Kodiak Bow. It was developed by WVU Engineering Dept. About 1968. It is made by putting dry Maple wood in a vacuum chamber. In the process the wood drew in .7 lb of Bakelite type resin for each 1 lb. of wood. Then it was exposed to some sort of Cobalt Ray to harden the resin. I made a set of slab knife handles out of Future wood once. Had to use metal tools to shape. It was so hard and stable I had to drill and tap holes and use brass bolts to attach the slabs. If you could find a proper size piece. It would make a stable stock but would be a lot of work and heavy. Good Luck in this project. [/QUOTE]
