machine oil spill on maple

If you can find paint stripper with methyl chloride it will suck the oil right out.

Bone Black or Ivory Black is a wonderful way to hide certain mishaps such as this, if an aged looking stock is appealing to you.......

Brake Parts Cleaner is made to clean grease and brake fluid from brake parts and brake linings WITHOUT leaving any oil or grease on the parts.

Furniture restorers will often use oxalic acid to remove dark stains in wood. It might work for your oil issue. Here is an article on the stuff: Oxalic Acid: A Very Useful Bleach | Popular Woodworking

And in California, they make a "special" type of Brake Cleaner that won't make you babies be born neked. And as expected, doesn't work quite as well at the good stuff. Won't burn like a flame thrower. Still kills Yellow Jackets, Black Widow spiders and just about any creepy crawler you'll see and, won't leave an y oily residue.

Stop fretting about the small stuff-----can you hit anything with it?
No one will care about it-or know about it. Once it is used you
will have plenty of imperfections. How well does it shoot and can you
reach out to 100 yards and hit your target? The fun and excitement
will overrule the flaws.

Has anyone ever used K2R Spotlifter?
I have used it on model airplanes to pull fuel/exhaust oil out of balsa wood to make repairs.

The process was using a heat gun to pull a good bit of the oil out then K2R to pull the rest out.

I like the K2R method too- it lifts castor oil from balsa and hard woods really well
