Re: Thermally Modified Wood
I made a gun out of one of Dean's (vector marine) blanks about four years ago and with an epoxy finish it held up very well. The gun shot the fish in my avatar and is now semi-retired in Florida shooting other grouper. It is a dense wood (similar to working with Paduk) and smells like you are smoking fish when you work it on the router. No ballast lead needed on the 55" gun I made due to the wood weight. I think it is a good cheap alternative for practice wood or first time builds as well.
