Hi Jack,
Thank you for your comment.
The technique I use does not involve a lot of 'hard contact' with the checkering. Should the grip panels appear to be soft or 'punky' in consistency I don't clean them at all for the reason you mention.
I have learned that most Luger wood grip panels were made from Beech or Walnut. The grip panels on my 1900 are Beech as quarter-sawn Beech exhibits gold flecking highlights when rotated in sunlight (as these grip panels do).
Thank you for your comments.
Bill
