The vacuum stabilized wood is not hard on sanding products. Never used futherwood. There are different ways to stabilze so my guess is futherwood has more resin in it. The diamondwood Rosewood handles (imported) has something different in it.

They are both stabilized. Color can be added to any stabilizing.
I'm guessing it is the resin being used that may cause some clogging of the paper.

I have used cactus juice, stickfast, and ultraseal and have no issues with clogged sand paper with any of them.
