My Grandma recently passed, and my Grandpa was going to send this old treadle sewing machine to the landfill. I was able to save it.

The top is a little rough. I once used some commercial Johnson and Johnson furniture wax on an antique router plane and it clouded the finish and caused it to soften a little. I would like to avoid that with this piece.
I recently picked up a beeswax and carnauba furniture wax, it doesn't have any harsh chemicals in it like the paste wax.
Would that be a good choice or is there something else I should try?
I don't want to completely refinish it, all that wear is from 3 generations of Grandma's using it, and is part of the history of the piece, but I would like to at least get a little protection on the bare spots
