Wayne, if the wood looks nice bare, you could try a tung oil finish like some of the current models use. There are some threads discussing that type of finish:

I'm sure spending a few hundred dollars having someone like our forumite Paul Wilczynski, who is a guitar restoration expert professionally refinish it for you would be worth it.
