The cost wasn't that high, about $5.00 U.S., and asking my wife about it would have gotten me a response like 'What's lemon oil?'.  Senior Management (in my house) is lovingly known as a Domestic Goddess, and the only cleaning that gets done is by the housekeeper.

Watch out for pure lemon oil. The ones in our supermarket are mineral oil with pure lemon oil added for the scent. Not all oils that say 100% pure actually are, many of them mean that they contain 100% pure lemon oil.

Hey Jet, I got mine at Wal-Mart of all places. They were the only place I could find that had the good unadulterated stuff. Local hardware stores didn't even carry it.
 
As for the Tung oil. I have always used Tung oil for refinishing wood, such as a night table, my Fender, etc,... Tung oil is tacky and hardens into a nice finish. After reading this thread, I am a bit confused, though. I thought all Tung oil hardened. Is there some that don't? Is it just by pure luck that I've always purchased the ones that do harden?
