How Can I Season Cast Iron Cookware That Have Wooden Handles? Can They Still Be Seasoned In A 250 Degree Oven?

I wouldn't put it in the oven. However, heat it up on the range and wipe it down with Crisco, or some kind of shorting all over, including the bottom. Make sure when you wash your cast iron skillets, to use as little soap as possible, and dry them on the stove and reapply oil every time. If you do, they will never rust.
*Added tip*
To get stubborn stuck on food off, add water to the skillet and place it on the stove and bring to a boil to soften the mess. Wash as normal.....the food should come right off with a copper scrubber.

    To season a cast iron pan you can rub with a good oil and heat on top of stove until it starts to smoke. When it cools wipe with paper towel than it is ready to use. Never put wood in the oven.

    I might try wrapping the wood with aluminum foil. ~

    Yes you can season them wooden handles. I’ve found pork fat back does a great job of seasoning. I season at 225 degrees for 4 hours. Check and wipe with fat back as needed.

    Yes, they will be OK. Just rub your cookware with oil and then season it….

    Yes the old fashioned way cook with them on a stove top. If you would like to last a life time do not put them in to a 250 degree oven It really is not a cooking temperature. It is waste of time to do that. and don’t clean with water use olive oil so it does not rust. If you need to use water dry by putting on cook top on High heat. then allow to cool and rub with oil
