Another option you may consider is ccl conditioning oil
I was recommended that by Geordie the stock maker for my ginb stock
And it came out brilliant.
Just apply thin layer and leave it for 30 to 45 minutes then work in the oil with the heel of your hand till friction heats it up then wipe of any excess don't buff just a gentle wipe.
Don't be in a rush just do one coat a night till you get your desired finish.
I hope this is of some help to you.

Most Danish oil is tung oil based., so it is a proper oil! it will of course have hardeners and resins in the mix and give a satin finish, a semi gloss can be achieved with more coats and plenty of burnishing/polishing.
Every thing i've made in my signature has Danish oil on,including these two fiddle-back maple stocks=
I've also had good results with boiled linseed and pure tung oil,use what ever you prefer.
