Location: Warren,Pa.		If memory serves, I believe it was referred to as "Danish Rubbing Oil". I'm not sure exactly what that is. I use lemon oil on my neck from time to time. I have a feeling it's something close to Danish Rubbing Oil... with a really nice smell. John <>{

Tongue oil is fine but, once again, make sure it's well cleaned of any detrius first.

Location: Madison, Wisconsin		Just for the record in case anybody is ever searching fot the solution, I used "Light Walnut" Watco. It matches pretty good. Medium may have been a touch closer but the light looks good.
