Usually the laminate material in grips and gun stocks is made by bonding the layers together using a Phenolic resin under pressure/heat to impregnate the wood.

I've found that scratches can be be sanded out and then the surfaced can be buffed back to it's original luster... you work with the stuff like an acrylic plastic.
