Hick,
Thanks for the kind words. If the wood has oil in in like the foreend then removing the stock and drawing out as much oil as possible would be the right thing to do. If in doubt pull it apart and then you can make sure the hidden areas are protected with finish too.
Removing the stock is not particularly hard, it's just awful easy to bung up the screws.

Jeff,
Considering that the stock has a poly varnish Finish I do not think there is any oil soaked in to the finish. I hope Del Grego also varnished the inside when he restocked it.

Maybe someone who has removed a DelGrego stock can tell us whether the headstock was finished.
I have an older DelGrego restored VHE 16, so old that the DelGrego (logo) recoil pad collapsed. It looks like French Polish to me. I think I'll hit it with a little alcohol tonite and see if it is French polish or something else.

| When I visited DelGrego's shop a couple of years ago, I noticed a shelf full of "True-Oil" aerosole cans. I didn't ask what they were used for; maybe not Parkers.
