Lots of good suggestions here. I've done a bunch, and the best thing is heat. Put the parts in a shallow pan and put them in the oven for an hour. I do stocks in the oven if they are small enough. Wrap the stock in a couple old terry towels, set it on a baking sheet, heat the oven to 200 degrees and pop it in for a hour. I usually take it out, re-wrap it with fresh towels, flip it to the other side and return it to the heat for a second hour (wear gloves to handle it...it will be hot enough to give you a painful scald). The towels will be positively lousy with cosmo but the wood will be clean and dry.
