Mineral spirits is a much milder solvent than acetone. Acetone will break down and dissolve oxidized and hardened oils . Mineral spirits is often used as a diluent(solvent) for oils dissolving unoxidized oils such as linseed or tung., but will have little effect on those older oxidized oils. It may reach some that have penetrated deep and have lacked the oxygen to oxidize and harden and help bring them to the surface. It will not harm anything, just let the stock dry completely before applying whatever finish you prefer.
