Seasoning with wooden handle

[Steve MacDow]

I am going to be restoring this waffle maker. Will the wooden handles be OK in the oven at high temp during seasoning, or should I use a different method?

Thanks

They unscrew so you can take them off for seasoning. Nice score today.

They don't seem to be screwed on. The metal going into the wood is squared. I tried and it didn't budge.

Here is a set with the handles taken off.

I have one in my e tank now. Handles took a gentle touch, but came off ok. Screw was covered with gunk

I had to use a penetrating oil on one of mine because the handle wouldn't budge. After sitting for a couple days, it came off relatively easily.
