I'm currently working on a Horatio Jones (Welsh) side by side hammergun. I'm not trying to tart it up, update it, lose its majestic patina or any of those things. The oil finish on the stock has worn thin in one part and the head is overly oil soaked. Is there a way to draw the oil out of the stock? Should I use the old stand by of mineral spirits, fine steel wool and fine sand paper until I'm down to bare wood? Input appreciated.
Thanks.
