<p>[QUOTE=&quot;verybrad, post: 160690, member: 37&quot;]I would clean them good with soap and water first.&nbsp; Murphy&#039;s oil soap or similar is great.&nbsp; Try not to get them too wet.&nbsp; Once dry, use some kind of penetrating finish on them since they look pretty dried out.&nbsp; A tung oil varnish or similar is good.&nbsp; I like Hope&#039;s tung oil varnish when I can find it or make my own (1 part each of oil based varnish, mineral spirits, and tung oil). Watco also makes some pretty good penetrating finishes but are a bit thinner so may require more coats.&nbsp; 2-3 coats applied with a rag should do.&nbsp; A final coat of furniture paste wax will complete the process.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Personally, I would do something different with those seats.&nbsp; They are too wide and too flat.&nbsp; To be authentic, these need a rush seat but they are probably not worth going to this kind of trouble for.&nbsp; Probably an upholstered seat would be easiest.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
