Quick Update
We had some decent weather over the weekend and decided to do something with the wood tops. I used Glenn's reviving solution #1 and then skipped solution #2 and wiped down with mineral spirits and then a dry cloth.
A lot depends on how you look at the wood but it sure looks better -- I have made Before and After in the same image as follows.
Bonnet - I didn't get a full shot of the bonnet like the after so did the front and top to show what it looked like before.

not the whole top - just the corner - The white ring is darker and the other rings might be varnish or poly??? this morning I took a straight edge and scrapped some off - pictures later

Janey - Neat people never make the exciting discoveries I do.
