    Have used olive oil on cutting boards. Worked well in with wet and dr, let dry and then buffed. Haven't had a problem.

    Over here in the UK Walnut oil is sometimes used for salad bowls etc - but as with all things 'Nuts' you have to display a warning.

    I have heard of (and tried) boiling articles in an olive oil/beeswax mix until there are no more bubbles being emitted. Didn't like the result on the job I had in hand, but there may be opportunities when it can be used as a waterproofing method.

    The other oil I would consider for a job like that is burnishing oils. Organoil is excellent, and from memory wasn't that expensive, and unlike linseed oil, it doesn't stay unduly oily for long but provides decent protection. A little beeswax polish afterwards and you would have a pretty decent finish for your guitar neck. Just my $2 worth.
