Thanks for all the suggestions and on the latest try with the Whiting it did help as I repeated my sun test of leaving on the hand guard. That day the temperature was about 10 degress cooler. I noticed alot less bleeding mostly at the really dark spots with minut wettness at the grain. What I did notice after the Whitting procedure the wood looked very dry, I aslo wiped it down a few times with Mineral Spirits. When I performed the sun test the besides what I had described above the color of the wood came back. So the oil did resurface some what which is the balance that will probably remain and not come out.

I will once again do another Whitting procedure and sun test, hopefully I'm near the end and I will use a combination of the suggests, thanks again all who had commented.
