Default Cleaning old gun stocks

I like finding old beat up, abused, neglected put back in the corner and forgotten 410s and 22s. I usually will remove the old wood finish and blueing. Reblue, refinish and get the gun shooting again. Not for resale. Just as a hobby. If I don't keep it I give to the kids or grandkids.
I just came across a old Remington "made in1953" that's going to be my new plinker. It's in excellent working order, the bluing is pretty good and the wood is better than good. So, all I'm going to do is give it a good cleaning.
What would you use to clean and protect the wood work? Birchwood stock sheen & conditioner any good?

I use Howard's Feed-n-Wax on my wood stocks. It's a polish and conditioner.

I use alchol to clean the gun and stock then use wax from Lee Valley - Conservator Wax, also called Veritas Wax, on the metal and it will work on the wood but I usually use pure Carnuba on the wood as it gives a smoother finish when dry.
