You might try using boiled linseed oil. Thin it out with mineral spirits and add a bit of jap drier to speed up the drying process. Thinning the oil out helps it penetrate. After it's sit-up a bit, you can finish with just linseed oil and dryer. It leaves a nice low gloss finish.

I like using linseed oil on anything I can. It's easy to apply, forgiving in nature and inexpensive. It will stay tacky for a few days :-(
