Default Easy And Nice Finish

Teak oil, baby oil, motor oil, salad oil--the term suggests a use, not an
ingredient.
Tung oil, walnut oil, linseed oil--the term suggests the source. Everyone
knows which is which. To suggest that "tung oil" need not contain the
ingredient for which it is named means that the manufacturer must hope you
are intending to use it for oiling "tungs." :-)
