Strip off varnish with Nitomors varnish remover. Rinse and wipe down with white spirts.
Then fine grade wire woll the stock taking care with the chequering. I used a brass brush on mine to remove the softened varnish from it.
Then apply several coats of Rustins danish oil following instructions on tin.
I found the beech colour too light so stained with Coloron American walnut dye before oiling.
