Very nice, Justin!
I have been working on the oil quite a bit. Being retired, along with inhospitable weather, gives me plenty of time to de-oil. So far, so good! I found one hairline crack, about 5/8" long, that I opened up a bit with a tiny burr in my Dremel tool. I stabilized it with Acraglas. It is well hidden within the upper tang inletting.

Every old oil stained stock that I have de-oiled has also revealed cracks of varying size that I've repaired during the refinishing process, which undoubtedly makes the stock stronger and less prone to further cracking in the future. It always amazes me how many problems and pleasant surprises can be concealed under a layer of old darkened oil and crud.
