I strongly advise against murphys oil soap. Only because I have seen and heard of very drastic results both ways with it. Not worth taking the chance in my opinion.

Really? Why would you even try that stuff when there are so many other products made for WOOD finishes?

It is explained and illustrated on his website.

I thought that it was some complex procedure but it's not. Just shake the bottle, dip a finger in (or use a paper towel with a little on) and rub it on the surface. Let dry 24 hours in a warm dry climate and repeat until you get the results you are looking for.

The top stock of the pair in the photos above was done with Timberlux and a paper towel. The paper towel method applies more Timberlux than dipping a finger and rubbing with a bare hand. Having done it both ways now, I prefer the bare hand method.

That makes sense. The warmth from a finger and the warmth from the friction generated by rubbing in the finish will help clean and penetrate the finish.

I assume there was crud built up in the checkering. What did you use to clean the checkering and how did you do it?

Well that was what old time collectors taught me (Austin Hogan and others) and it took a lot of the crud out of the stock and then you would come back with some oil. Worked for me but maybe they didn't know what they were talking about!
I have heard great things about Timerlux
