The Danish Oil I used was Moser's Danish oil from Woodworkers' Supply.
I've noticed that their particular finish tends to be a bit darker than
some other Danish oils.
Hope that helps. I'll post a couple of pictures to a.b.p.ww. Looking at
the scanned photos compared to the current color, I think the color has
mellowed somewhat in the past several years.

Neutral wouldn't change the color much. That's why it's neutral.
You can use the dark Watcos.......
Medium Walnut
Dark Walnut
Black Walnut
