Refinishing Wooden Grips

[Blue Heeler]

I have a pair of K Frame Goncalo Alves grips
that are looking pretty worn.No varnish left
and a few scratches.
I thought I'd lightly sand them and apply new
polyurethane--any problems with this?
Any advice appreciated.

Blue, none that I can think of but you might want to put a few coats of Tru-Oil on first if you want them darker than the sanding leaves them. George
