Erfurt Grips

I don't know why, but for some reason I sometimes just click on the 'Post Message' dialogue box first..I hate when that happens! About the grips: I have cleaned some that are very dark wood and some that have been stained with a very dark stain and some that are oil soaked..none of these lighten up much. I have also cleaned some that turn out to be lighter and show more grain. I can usually tell how much grime is going to come off by the shade of the water and soap mixture. If you want some really nice lighter grips (for shooting or display) you should talk the Hugh Clark, a regular here who is a grip expert..you can trace his roots back the original walnut tree in the Black Forest of Germany).
