Does Breck Gorman have a website? A cursory internet search brings up other posts on here from people saying he does good work. Frankly I'd much rather pay someone with more skill and experience than me to clean this thing up, instead of risking effing it up if I try to do it myself.
Regardless, would cleaning just involve a lot of brash brushes, gun oil, and polish for the wood?
