John Barleycorn, SASS #76982 Posted May 28 Posted May 28 So I found a pair of elk grips (thanks Will Burn Powder) and they were a white/gray. I wanted an aged look like the Grashorn set I got from Cpl Henry. After some research, and following Sack Peterson’s website advice. I got some tan Fiebings leather die and mixed just a little with some isopropyl alcohol and applied one coat with a cotton ball. Then buffed with a clean cloth. I think they came out pretty good. 10 Quote

Texas Jack Ried Posted May 30 Posted May 30 Now those are purdy. I love stag grips and really prefer the darker aged ones, similar to ones John Wayne's carried. Very nicely done! 1 Quote
Von Dutch, SASS # 7995 Posted May 30 Posted May 30 Long ago I knew a person that made grips and he used Iodine to age them. V.D. Quote
Rooster Ron Wayne Posted May 30 Posted May 30 Looks great . Last time I did that years ago . I just dropped them in a coffee cup of hot tee with the tee bag still in the cup . Let them set for a couple days and they come out looking about the same way . I wish I still had that set of grips and the single action army they was attached too . Quote
