Default how to proced with stock???

Hi,

I have the stock off my Trojan. I'm not sure how to proceed.
I've read several sites about repairing/refinishing French Polish.

The gun is actually pretty nice: barrels good colour little pitting, the receiver still has a bit of colour, the stock is showing its' well used look so I'm a bit reluctant to lose its' originality.

My questions:

1 What is the best method to get the stock clean? I've already used Bichwood Casey stock conditioner.

2 The finish is completely worn from a few spots especially the rear bottom.

3 I'm not overly concerned with the dents

4 I read that french polish can be repaired but would that work on this stock?

5 If I refinish the wood how do I safely take this finish off?

I hope you see enough detail in the pictures.

Thanks for any suggestions.

Neil
