Lots of interesting suggestions here!
I looked up the ingredients of some of the more natural materials (such as Tru-oil) and found linseed oil plus natural resins. Turns out I have some similar stuff, since I have lots of artist's materials. I have linseed oil (and boiled linseed oil), dammar varnish, and turpentine. Looking around some more I saw one suggestion of a 1:1:1 mix of these. I'm testing on an old wooden broom handle first :)

Yes. Tru oil is a mixture of oils. But ratio..:shrug: All I can say is, I've used it for a few gun stocks I've refinished, and hunted with for years. ( Lots of brush, and briars, snow, rain, ice.) still looks new.
