I have this barrel top that I’d like to clean up for a project. Wood guy that I got it from said to just use water and a wire brush but I’d like to take better care of it than that. The white specs aren’t actually there; photo anomaly or something. What kind of cleaner would go well with a nylon brush to clean things up here?

What ever happened to this barrel top, why is it so black on top? To be honest, if I were you, I would completely polish the surface with sandpaper, then cover everything with a thick layer of varnish.
I would not keep anything moldy around me. Mold is a very problematic thing that can create serious issues in brain.
Can UV coating reduce mold?
