I was saw products in Home Depot today for smoke smells and other things. You may want to check it out. Sometimes setting it outside on a hot sunny day (maybe a few) to air out.

The “old wood” odor is mold. Best to try a solution of water/bleach (20/80) and “paint” both the inside and outside of everything. I’d follow with linseed oil (In and out again) to finish unless you preferred to paint the outside.

I agree, the odor is mold and the bleach solution will kill the mold. Good advice Thomas T.
