However....I had been told previously that wax can result in long term damage to the frets, due to the fretboard expanding as it absorbs the oil and/or wax.
Old wives tale or truth?
Tung oil or China wood oil is a drying oil obtained by pressing the seed from the nut of the tung tree (Vernicia fordii).
FYI both the oils you are quoting are vegetable oils. Walnut oil is fine for fingerboards ... I've even used extra virgin olive oil in the past with no issues.

Tung oil is a drying oil as well as linseed... so you don't want to be using them on fingerboards they are actually applying a finish, not simply 'oiling' ...they can accumulate and harden under the fret beads and make future fret work more difficult.
