Wood will not always return to it's former state just by allowing humidity to return to the wood after de-oiling with acetone. Sometimes cracks will form, when drying from the acetone soak, that will not close up themselves. They must be glued and clamped to close them. I have one stock that was done thusly with CA and has held fine for some 8-10 years.
