Ed and Johnny,

I know that everybody has their favorite method and they use what works for them, but I would never use linseed oil. Linseed oil penetrates wood fibers and causes them to separate and become soggy. The very best product that I have found is Watco Danish Furniture Oil (natural). It doesn't damage the wood and about 3 good applications with a cotton ball, brings out a very rich natural and original finish to Luger grips. Dab it on with a saturated cotton ball. I "garon-tee" you will like the looks after ward.

I usually use warm tap water Dawn dish soap and a tooth brush and clean the grips first. Only get them wet enough to form a lather and brush gently until the lather turns brown Rinse and repeat. Rinse the soap off and dry them very well. Then apply the Watco.

Ron
