What oil for my reclaimed Pine Victoian internal doors?

Hi,

I'm getting some reclaimed internal Victorian doors. I will leave them in their natural wood, but would like to oil them to give them a healthy glow and nice colour.

I believe that they will all be Pine, and do not know if, but imagine, they were "dipped".

I've had a look and seen linseed, tung and teak oils recommended. But Have no real idea on the finish that they will give.

I'd be most grateful for your response.

Thanks,
R

I prefer danish oil for internal doors, you could try the oils on a scrap of timber to check the results, if they have been dipped they may well fall apart at the seams as it's not good for them.
