Question on Grip Finishes

rhuff · 06-09-2012, 05:18 PM

I have been having good results lately with Formsby's semigloss Tung Oil finish on raw wood grips. I had purchased a pair of raw wood Luger grips from Sarco, and after fitting them, I used the Formsby's and got a soft sheen, sealed, and very nice looking(to me at least) result. When I am after a glossier finish(usually on smooth wood), I go back to my old standby....Birchwood-Casey Tru-Oil . I started using this product back in 1971-72, and it does a very nice job for me.
