1951 Van Hauwaert 3 speed.

Hi everyone. It was recommended to me that I should post this bicycle here for some tips on how to treat the wooden rims and fenders. Any tips on preserving the wood would be much appreciated. The spokes are also very slack, so I suppose I should tension each one a little at a time to keep the rim true? I've also posted this on bikeforums.net, where I spend most of my time. http://www.bikeforums.net/showthread.php/820931-Fr-Meulen-my-new-bike-via-trade
