There's a difference between water repellent and moisture repellent.  Linseed oil may be a good water repellent but it's a poor moisture repellent.  Wax is at the top

I like tru oil have used it for years hand rub till my hand sometimes blisters, Makes super nice finish on my banjo necks.. But I do hate the dry time , sometimes or a lot of the times I rub anything into my  bows olive oil, beeswax, BLO Tru-oil all at once just keep hand rubbing it in . After reading this post I put together some BOL and Beeswax melted it down and when it cools ends up in a past rubs in easy buffs out nice, I may top it I may not...

I've used a lot of Danish oil but I think I'm going back to fat and wax.  Seems to perform better since I'm almost on the coast.

There's a lot to like and be said about these resin finishes.
