I put Formby's Tung Oil Finish on them, which helped. That finish last for at least several months and should be renewed periodically. It can be taken off with denatured alcohol.

In the past controversies have been started here by calling this a tung oil , others saying other stuff is better, others saying paste wax is better, etc. Whatever works for people, I'm no expert, and I call it Formby's Tung Oil Finish because that's what the can says. I make no representations about chemical content, MDS data, museum purposes or the like.
