Has anyone 'aged' a set of Luger wood grips??? That si, take a new clean set and scuffed, sanded, dimpled, stained, or otherwise made them look old???
I'm interested in artificially 'aging' a leftover set of new Walnut grips to put on a shooter I have. Another new set will go on my latest fantasy 'artillery' without aging. I do have a well-worn set that I could put on but they have the dreaded 'chip'.
So instead of eBay-ing myself a used old original set, I'd like to give this set some years...
I've thought of brushing them lightly with a torch, sanding them lightly, tapping them with a welder's chipping hammer, lightly dousing them with used motor oil
(my SUV needs a change anyway), and maybe giving them a turn against a wire brush/wheel...
Anyone done this??? Any ideas??? Have any pics???
Thank you for your attention!
