Thread: Stock "bleeding" oil

I have a nice old sako I purchased a 3-4 months ago. The first trip to the range, prior to lock-down, was a hot sunny day. On the bench the stock was getting warm in the sun, and lots of oil formed on the surface of the wood around the wrist area. I wiped it down and it no issues when I got home.

Thinking on this, the last couple of days I've had it in front of the fire or sitting on the window sill in the sun (its getting warm but not hot). As it warms up it bleeds oil in the same area. Smells like boiled linseed to me. I'm simply wiping away the oil with an old towel.

I assume this is from someone over oiling the stock. Am i doing the right thing here? How do I get it to seal?
