Wooden Handle

How to Restore Old wooden handles on Farm Tools?

I Collect farm tools, plows with wooden handles, etc. how do I restore the wood portion? (currently grey looking) then preserve them for outside decorations to keep and enjoy.
Should I use any kind of oil as well, linseed, etc?

I would probably try cleaning the wood with a deck cleaner like Thompsons, and then treat them with a sealer (also Thompsons).

As an alternative, you could use some 100 grit sand paper to remve the dirt and grey wood and seal with poly urethane.

Finally, if you like the grey, don’t do anything! If they stay dry (or at least are in an area where they will dry after it rains, they should be fine for many more years.

If you use chemicals, follow the package directions.
