What is the present finish and what do you (or the new owners) propose to use it for?

My own thoughts would be to sand to 1500 grit, EEE then shellawax unless you wnat that awful smel of CL, unfortunately I can't work with it as it reacts something fierce with my nose/head but this is what I use for most of my limited turnings.
I am also assuming that you have a lathe.Stupidity kills. Absolute stupidity kills absolutely.
