Your welcome

I remember when I was younger my dad aquired two carved hardwood elephants.

He would oil them with linseed oil to stop them drying out and cracking, so I am fairly sure that is the oil she would need to use.

or teak oil like you use for hard wood furniture (garden stuff). You can get it from DIY shops.

Linseed oil if its for interior and teak oil if its outside.

 

Be warned though.Rags soaked in linseed oil can spontously combust when rolled up and thrown into a bin! Leave the cloth to dry before disposal.
