Hi Luke! I think that it would be very possible! I would believe as long as the wood behaved correctly in the machines and fixtures, and a good part could be made, they would not pay to much attention to the color. I feel both heartwood and sapwood would produce good parts! I would like to send in some more samples, but it is hard to find disposable samples that are known to be correct for a certain variation. You wouldn't want to destroy a nice set of 1920 commercial grips off a nice P.08, just to find out the type of wood used!! Perhaps some of the other members have researched this, and have some theories? till....later...G.T.
