I have watched with interest the "winter projects" which involve soaking the oil out of old stocks and refinishing them. Is this something anyone can do, or is it a little more involved than that. I certainly dont like the idea of acetone and microwaves or toasters or whatever. I am a woodworker by trade but have little gunsmithing experience and would like to bring back the wood on my I grade...
What does one put on after all the oil has been removed? How does one know when all the oil is out? so many questions.
