I read somewhere that Pietta grips have oil only applied - so no stain or anything, just oil? Is that right?
I have a project in mind to convert the wood to look just like ivory using minwax white pickling stain and tung oil - i have done it on some bows i made and like the look.
The thing is the Pietta grips have some stuff on there i just want to confirm is only oil - not much room for sanding since the grips fit great - except they could do with some sanding near the right side of the recoil shield where nipple caps are put on.
So I am thinking that using acetone or mineral spirits would remove everything down to clean, unstained wood?
Let me know if i am wrong, please..... if the wood is already stained not sure i would bother to do this.
