I think using Tung oil would help some. Tung oil soaks into the wood and does a couple of things. It soaks in and hardens while providing a protective layer. The more coats you put on, the more glossy the finish. It is to wood what handcream is to skin. Try asking the folks at Home Depot or Lowes. Not to stereotype, but ask one of the oldfarts, since this is an oldschool finish.
