Getting oil out of wood

Hi all
I just stripped an old chair of its vestments. There is an area of about 6
sq. inches that water wont penetrate, in other words water sits on top of
it. How in the world do you get the oil out of this wood so it can be
stained and lacquered. Dont ask me what kind of oil it is. I honestly dont
know.

Helpppppppppp

Spot lifter. It's great for removing uncured plastisol ink smudges
from t-shirts.

Carpet/fabric spot remover.

Illegal in Kalifornia, if that's where you are. Probably causes warts
on frogs or sumpin' . . .

I got my last couple of cans at Kroger (I think).

Quick web search turned up :

http://www.americarx.com/product.asp?3=5667
but it's out of stock there; at least the photo is correct.

Another site says it's available at :

I use heat to get cosomoline out of gun stocks. A heat gun, hair
dryer or even the oven does a great job sweating the grease out of
wooden gun stocks.

Standard problem in model airplanes - getting the oil out of the wood
so new covering will adhere.

K2R works really well. Spray it on fairly thick, let dry completely.
Brush or vacuum off. Repeat until the wood is sufficiently clear of
oil.
