This data point implies that Rosewood can survive a wiping with Acetone. YMMV:
I've only used it to prepare the surfaces of a broken tote.
So i've soaked the tote and the knob for a week in a jar of acetone,
and.... Drom Rolls....
It doesn't seem to work, the wood is still sweating oil when exposed
to the sun. :(
Planning to test baking them at low temperature with some pumice, cat
litter, fuller earth, maize flour, ....
Hope this will work.
