DIYbanter - Tool handles

I have some old shovel and other tool handles. They have lain in the sun
for a good bit, and are dried, and cracked a bit. What is a good way to fix
them? I have sanded them down with an electric sander and coarse paper. I
would like to fill in the cracks, and some of them have places where the
wood is splintering along the grain.

What's a good way to doctor up these good old tools?

BLO (boiled linseed oil), turpentine, and beeswax.

Smells goooood toooo.
