Default glass beads or walnut shell

the late Tony Treadwells restoration book shows fine glass bead blasting as a first step to preparing damascus barrels for refinishing.

has any one tried the walnut shell media, I would think it would be less agressive, and certainly less cleanup concerns, but will it still clean enough to cut down on the finish prep steps?
