Start with a good cleaning with cheese cloth and murhys It picks up alot of crud.Still undecided on this. The more I look at that archangel stock the less I like it. No offense Troy.
Hitting CVS tonight to see if they have Murphy's oil soap. I may just end up sanding the whole thing down lightly and applying a few coats of Tru Oil. I would just like to preserve the many little stamps and markings on it. For what reason I don't know. They're interesting to me.
You can take fine sand paper like 400 or 600 with a small flat backer and lightly go over the high spots avoiding any thing you want to keep intact
