Also, what are your guys opinions and ides on cleaning the stock. I don't want to change the color of the stain but I kind of want a nicer finish on the wood. I guess it doesn't really bother me but I figured since I'm cleaning everything else why not clean the stock too.
Make a 50/50 mix of Boiled Linseed oil and turpentine. lightly scrub the furniture with 0000 steel wool, work with the grain of the wood. Carry a lot of the liquid to the wood, it well lift and carry away the years of dirt and grease. Wipe it dry with a clean cloth. You could apply one or two coats of straight blo after 24hrs. Rub it on with your fingers, allow it to soak for 20-30 minutes then wipe dry and allow 24hrs air dry before handling.
