Might I ask why raw linseed oil? I always thought it was boiled. Anyway, an easy way to clean up a stock is with 50/50 boiled? linseed oil
/natural turpentine. Rub on with a course cloth and rub down all the dirt. Wipe off the excess then rub dry with the palm of the hand (lots of elbow work). If you manage to find some natural/genuine turpentine please tell me where - I can't find any in my parts.
For polishing woodwork after it has been treated with linseed oil (a buddy did a stock for his step son without polishing the wood), use Scotch Bright pads (green). That wood polished up like it was done properly in the first place. It had had about two weeks of daily oiling and rubbing and drying in the sun.Information
