Lance, I wanted to do your Morseth with cocobolo, it is a beautiful wood and after it has been sealed it's practically as good as stabilized for the reasons stated above. It is my wood of choice, it and ironwood. A simple seal with thinned down epoxy will seal both and they will soak into any pores that are left. I have to add a spacer to your Morseth by the way as the short threads won't quite let the threaded brass plug seat below the back of the knife.
I have made more than a few kitchen Chef's Knives from cocobolo. It is an aggravating wood to some, but it doesn't bother me, but with all woods I wear a HEPA filter respirator. I learned a long time ago it is unhealthy to breath the dust from the belt and from the material being ground. My brother can't tolerate cocobolo or quite a few woods, he's a metal worker.LOL
