| Post subject: | Question about Rose wood |
I recently bought a Rosewood box at the mercado. After about a month I noticed that the box was no longer closed flush. The wood has become warped and has gotten even worse in the past 2 weeks. I was wondering why this happened. Does this type of wood need some special care? |

The wood is finished with a oil finish which will allow for expansion and contraction due to humidity. Refininsh it and seal with mlti coats of linseed oil or a coat of polyeurathane. Ask for help at Home Depot:) |

This is the wood used on premium grips on pistols in custom made US autos. http://www.flickr.com/photos/79501194@N ... 058560877/ I have paid big bucks to put them on my pistols. |

Ace, Is this wood the same or similar to "Coco-Bolo" grips? Several years ago, I bought a Colt Python .357 magnum, with a custom Coco Bolo grip. It's a beautiful cherry wood color. Actually, it's too nice to use on the pistol, so I've just kept the Pacmeyer grips on the gun. Thanks, MG |

In CR they do not properly dry their woods. Many times they cut it & let it dry in the sun (no kiln trying) so as it drys it shrinks & warps. http://www.ca.uky.edu/agc/pubs/for/for55/for55.htm |
