The old furniture (unknown types) on the "Century L1A1 Sporter (on Imbel)" FAL has no visible grime that I can recognize.
For my age I've done almost nothing with wood (just used a stain or fast-dry poly..)
But this furniture might have lots of sweat residue from the hands of guys who served decades ago in the army Dunnunda (Australia).
I'm not interested in any involved "mixing this and that", just rubbing it with a Single liquid- possibly just two if entry-level mixing is needed.
The wood appears to have stain but it's very difficult to know what has been used over a few decades.
People online recommend having at least a 90% version of isopropyl alcohol to limit the water content. --- My iso is 99%.
Is a simple gentle rub with mineral spirits (Jasco brand) a better idea?
