    And your new Eagle has incredible wood!
    This was discussed recently on DoubleGunBBS http://www.doublegunshop.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=12775&page=1#Post12775
    One poster suggested Murphy's Oil Soap esp if there is LOTS of grime and old flaking varnish. Scrub using a washcloth over and over until the cloth no longer picks up the black stuff. Use a toothbrush to scrub out the checkering. Murphy's Oil will also bring out the color and contrast in the wood.
    Another option is to use Birchwood Casey Stock Sheen & Conditioner again with a washcloth and until the washcloth no longer picks up the gunk. Then use Old English Lemon Oil to put some life back in the wood. I use Old English about every 6 mths here in the desert because of the low humidity. Let the Lemon Oil dry for a day and then use Johnson's Paste Wax or (even bettter but expensive) Renaissance Wax http://www.woodfinishsupply.com/RenWax.html
    It's amazing the color that will come out after a serious cleaning!
