No varnish afaik. The first is actually the top surface so hand drips etc, and the lighting makes it look especially bad, but that's the worst bit where the 2 part filler has trapped water behind it and bought back the rot.
Stone inset in wood is the dream. Half surprised that's not a more standard solution. Will investigate more.

First photo yeah moisture from below the block has crept up. Second photo makes it look past saving even by my book! Also looks like it's been varnished? Kinda blistered in places, once varnish is blown its a lot of work to strip fully back. Oil is a lot more suited to be being reworked.
