An one last thuing on the Steyr's cosmoline
I didn't mention the Steyr's stock from the outside looks very clean there is no apparent oil stain showing in the wood. The cosmo was typically apparent on the inside at the breach where the wood shows evidence of a discolored oil stain. I wasn't planning on removing the shellac because it is in decent condition. However, I'm wondering do I need to remove the shellac to let the pores open up and apply the Whiting to the outside as well to draw out the oil. Or am I over thinking this, any thoughts?
