Is that an oil or epoxy finish?

Think they're oiled.

All you need to do is lightly rub the area down with a patch soaked in some solvent and then rub some boiled linseed oil (BLO) that has been thinned with a bit of paint thinner into the area. They don't look deep at all and doubt if they got down into the wood.
