Most woods Chris. I have a piece of desert ironwood burl, but it is only big enough for a spacer, now it doesn't need to be stabilized as it is already so hard and I would guess wouldn't accept much of the polymers anyway. It is going on a Damascus knife I made. Had it for years waiting for the right knife. It also has something to do with what the knife is made for. But most burls like maple or walnut should be stabilized as they will have hard and soft spots in them especially if it is going to be the whole handle.
I mostly use exotic hardwoods that are already pretty hard by themselves, but I was gifted some birdseye maple and it is going out for stabilization.
