I don't believe walnut oil is a "drying oil" like linseed oil or tung oil,
which means it does not polymerize by reacting with oxygen. If you were
kidding, my apologies for jumping in like this.

Wipe some on a piece of glass and let it cure. You'll notice it's clearer
than tung, lighter in color than linseed if you do comparison wipes.
