Certain types of oil (gun lubrication oil, WD-40,etc.) will absolutely ruin a good pair of grips or a stock. They make the wood soft. Linseed oil is a good finish for stocks and grips. Brownell's sells a product that I have used called Lin-speed. It works really well on handgun grips. I used it on some 1911 grips I made out of ironwood and they turned out great!
