Joel, That's what I found too and that's why I used danish oil. As for lemon oil that Dwight suggested, you can add some PURE lemon oil to almost any traditional oil based finish (tung, linseed, teak, danish, even olive). It helps prevent mildew/black spots and also adds a nice fresh smell.
Some furniture makers make there own finishes, often by mixing boiled linseed oil with bees wax and polyurethane. I think the guy that made my bed frame used a 2:1:1 ratio on natural bare cherry.
