the grips were dyed blue when they were stabilized, you put wood in a vacuum pot and add resin and the dye, you then vacuum out all the air, this causes the wood to soak up the resin/dye mixture, after about 6 hours you take the blanks out, bake them to cure the resin and you now have stabilized and dyed blanks.
