It was furniture wood,bought from a factory in South America IIRC.Cured with salt.Only problem was,that once the salt came through the finish,that it eats the gun away to nothing.One of the major blunders in modern firearms history.Totally distroyed a lot of high end Browning rifles and shotguns.The T-Bolt and Superposed shotguns were hit hardest.
