Correct me if I'm wrong... but you probably wipe the stock down with a "tack" cloth or something similar after hitting it with steel wool and prior to applying the linseed oil? I have a couple of my older Renny's that I've considered going over the stock again. I'm not gonna stain them, they're already Walnut. I just wanna remove the old T/C finish along with some scuffs and scratches and give them a nice oil rubbed look.
