Had sold one.... and bought one back

Tell ya what really works on old military gunstocks, if you dare that is. The dishwasher. One or two cycles, cleans everything off, steams out the dents, and doesn't hurt the wood. Doesn't stink the dishwasher up as much as you'd think. My wife's rage was significant, but ultimately manageable.

Dry for a long time, then finish to taste. Will raise the grain a little, but just a little, so slight sanding is needed.
