I've got a small handgun that I'm thinking about making some book-matched grips for out of tiger maple. I'm just curious what finishes should be used on them?
Lin Speed is highly regarded among gun builders. Like Vaughn, I don't know what makes it different than other high quality BLOs on the market except it is clearly much superior than the rest. Good choice.
Whatever you choose, use an oil. Other finishes might be hard on the hands and/or get slickery while holding. Bill G. would probably be our best authority here on this subject.
