most dings and dents can be raised on wood with moist towel and a hot iron. You lay it over the area that needs raised and let the heat of the iron put the moister back in the wood don't leave the iron in one place to long move it a round.
My gun smith shop used to be in Las Cruces,NM till I moved back to Indiana. The way I work on old rusty gun is I take it a part as much as posibile lay the wood over to th side and then I take the metal parts and soak them in motor oil depends on how rusty as long as a week sometimes then I use 0000 steel wool to try and get the rust off but leaving the patina. I don't ever use w-40 on metal gun parts as over time it start to turn real gummy that where I get a lot of guns in to be cleaned now wd-40 is great to put on wood stocks like when your getting ready to put your gun away after you been out hunting and have all ready cleaned all the metal parts.
