How about medicinal raw linseed oil (or flax seed oil as it is called for human use usually). You can buy cold pressed linseed at natural food stores. I'd rub it in well and try.
I have also stopped rancification of walnut oil using natural gum turpentine - but that's got to dry a pretty long time!

Natural gum turpentine is a good way to kill brain cells.... Quote from a woodwork forum owner..
Quote:
Pure (gum, wood) Turpentine is derived by destructive distillation of wood and contains mainly pinene and dipentene. It is a known sensitiser (not a good thing) and may manifest itself as a skin rash or inflammation or as an asthmatic condition, and in some individuals this reaction can be extremely severe. It is also thought to be a cause kidney failure if abrorbed through the pores of the skin. It can cause many mental problems and is one of the reasons why so many of the great artists were certifiable nut cases. Don't be fooled into thinking that natural is always better. Often times is definitely is not.
