Duckmomma Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicken Licken Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 or teak oil like you use for hard wood furniture (garden stuff). You can get it from DIY shops. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevie Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 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.
