cat litter, the clay based sort, cover draw bases, close in a warm place and change weekly until smell gone
activated charcoal pellets, as with cat litter but rather more expensive
a wipe with dilute bicarb solution, dry. that can be effective, but getting to the crevices of the carcase is tricky
put the draws and empty carcase in the sun and breeze for a bit
crystal camphor, crush, spoonful per draw, close, leave in warm place for a while, remove any remaining crystals and air for a bit (re timing a week for each usually)
good beeswax polish with a little cedarwood oil once the exorcism seems to be entering the last phase
sometime the aroma is part of the patina, sometimes it is just an annoying haunting
if you get really cross with the spirit of potions past solvents in mixtures and lots of absorbent pads and a bit at a time can get personal with lingering organic smells in wood |

at least 3 votes for activated charcoal
cheapest is industrial such as for spray booth filters etc, a kilo is plenty for a few bits of furniture
fish tank stuff is pricy
decent ordinary charcoal, crush to rice crispy size and dedust with a sieve, put it in a metal container, the container needs a small vent to allow gasses to escape and to exclude air later, heat to red-hot for a while, keep red-hot for a bit, close gas vent, let it cool slowly, dedust again
very cheap but a bit of a faff and takes practice kit, safe place etc
filter pellets are a good choice |
