Cross cut stabilised walnut for thin scales?

[Hengelo_77]

I got some stabilised, figured walnut I want to use for slipjoint scales. Only later I realised that it is cross-cut.
Can it be savely be used for slipjoints if I glue it on G10 liners?

Will it work - Yes
Should you use it -- your call, but probably NO.
