Very dark patina stock — what to do

[B. Dudley]

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.

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

Austin Hogan recommended it in the PP and I have used it with great results.
Guess Austin and me didn't know better. Sorry for the imput
