When I tried Murphy's Oil Soap, it took my finish off too. I won't use it again. I'd take off the remaining finish and get the oil out of the stock and refinish. Although Shellac and oil (French Polish) is what Parker used most often, it's not the easiest finish to learn how to apply. It takes practice to put it on properly but the good thing about it is that if you screw up, it's easy to fix or take off completely and start over. Personally, I prefer Pro Custom oil, I like it better than Tru Oil. Wet sand to fill the pores, take it down to level it out, then apply multiple coats to get the desired finish. Practice makes perfect.
