I recently picked up some old almost all metal screwdrivers. The ones
with just the wood inserts in the handles. The wood is very weathered.
What type of treatment can I use to stabilize the wood in the handle?
Thanks,

Just surface weathered w/ a few cracks or is it "punky"???

Weathered with a few cracks.

It depends on how pretty you want it to be. I have one screwdriver
built like that, and a meat cleaver that is similar. I used ordinary
hardware-store epoxy on both. They're probably stronger than they were
when new, but they're not the prettiest things in my drawer.
