Pictures will beget feedback.

A cleaning with mineral spirits or turpentine is usually benign.

A 50/50 mix of Linseed Oil and Turpentine is an old and established wood treatment.

I started using some turpentine and am hopeful for the results. They certainly got rid of the paint quicker than the mineral spirits. I also picked up some Linseed Oil as well. Thanks for the information. Your stock work is legendary for me!
