How to preserve old wood?

I have an antique oxen yoke that is extremely dry and weathered. What can I use to preserve it? I have already looked on-line but didn't really find anything on that specific kind of wood. Any ideas or links would be appreciated.

Mink oil, Lexol, or Neatsfoot oil are what horsemen use to preserve leather. -

As decoraters/tradies we have tried all sorts of things ,however we always come back to one great simple product that can be used safely on so many ‘things’... A Good Graded coconut oil// and i mean the real white stuff that you will use proper cloths to massage into the wood. A couple of coats over a few days & you ought to find that you have saved your wood/time/& lots of dollars.Get always Organic//sml jar will set most back at 20 bucks, though you don’t need much,& remember you can use it on many things, leather especially... shoes & jackets will last a life time,& look good... guess what??? No chemicals either:) -

Wash with Murphy's oil soap, and then Wilbert's lemon oil, follow bottle directions. Wilbert's will get the wood from getting dry. -
