    I would suggest that the amount, location and depth of bark would determine the answer to your question. They can vary from slick as any other smooth surface or as rough as tree bark. This is between you and the maker of the grips. BTW, lots of texture with curls and swirls is called "popcorn" and is my favorite style... more frequently found in Sambar stag, but occasionally on elk antler as well.

    I have a set on a 1911. They look very nice. Sorry, not the best picture, but you get the idea. Also have them on a pair of RUger New Vaqueros, that I use in CAS. Never had a problem with them being slippery. Click image for larger version.
