Old fashioned whiting mixed into a paste with acetone. Cover the wood with it and the acetone will pull the oil out and the whiting will turn a brownish gray as it absorbed the oil. Brush off the whiting and repeat. Putting it in the oven with the whiting mixture on it will better draw the oil out. Soaking the stock rich in acetone or MEK will work well for getting surface oil and dirt off, but the whiting and heat is best for pulling the deeper stuff out.

Brian, after you are satisfied that you've pulled all the oil out, is the wood somewhat brittle at that point? Do further treat the wood?

Well, I know that the whiting cannot do any more on e it stops turning brown. The wood being brittle would really depend on what type of wood it is. I have not had too much of a problem with that on the few that I have worked on where oil was a problem. Getting rid of the dark staining is an issue though.

I went to my local Walmart to buy some acetone. I grabbed two quart cans and headed for the checkout. The first can set off the 'check ID' alarm and I was told I could only purchase one quart. I don't get upset anymore. I just made the comment that I am 53 years old and cannot buy two quarts of acetone. Am I missing something? I like to think that I am enlightened about the world around me, but this has me baffled.

I looked all over. I was actually surprised they had acetone. Oh, I sent you a PM, Brian.

Accitone is on yhe list of chemicals we can no longer purchase much of. Seems like they use it to make drugs so instead of doing something with the drug dealing scum they have decided to take it away from the rest of us. Sound familar.
