So I have seen many a stock with insane amounts of oil soaked into the wood. I now have a piece off the other end of the spectrum. This gun must have sat in the desert for 40 years; then when someone found it, they must have left it, dragged a wood stove out to it, and let it sit another 40 years between the Wood stove and the desert sun. It is insanely dry, has split along several grain lines and was drawn tight around each screw.
Will anything revive it?
Can it be soaked in a particular solution.
And if there is no real savior a would a 20 minute bath in an ultrasonic cleaner be terrible?
