A nut based oil like walnut oil will dry. The non-drying oils not only 
always feel greasy, the oil will eventually go rancid. Walnut oil will 
dry and give you a harder finish.

A search for walnut oil in the archives will find several discussions 
over the years. Right now search is not working for me.
