There are a variety of species that are called rosewood, most of them can be an irritant to the person working with them. It is conceivable that between the oils and chemical composition of some peoples sweat they could leach enough irritants out of the wood grips to contribute to the rust issue that some people are experiencing with the rosewood grips. Just a degree of speculation. Any other wood workers care to speculate?

All qualities of stainless have a percentage of softer carbon in its make-up, the higher quality SS the less carbon = higher corrosion resistance. All woods contain a degree of enzymes in their fiber, add moisture and extended contact with metal =corrosion/rust. Most SS that is used in production machining is generally a mid range quality to ease the machining process. Best cure as pointed out by other posts would be a coat of something like the Barracade on the metal and a wax or similar product on back of stocks to seal it. the more exotic woods have a higher enzyme content.Oh no, not another 1911 !
