I'm trying to clean an intricate carved camphor wood chest that is covered with years of dust and grime. Any ideas?

Welcome to the forum Mork!
Can't really help with your question - pressure washer is the only thing that comes to mind

It is very hard to beat household ammonia as a cleaner. I still rate it better than anything for cleaning old wooden tools which have grime and wax and proably oil embedded in them.
I would start with something like a toothbrush and a bit of webrax, a cupfull of ammoina and patience. Don't get the wood too wet and have a plentiful supply of cloth and/or loo paper/kleenex to dry it off periodically.

Welcome to the forum, Mork,
I dunno Chris, ammonia seems a bit extreme. :-k Mind you, I've never tried it... Whatever you do, Mork, try it somewhere inconspicuous first...
Cheers, Alf
