I'm a big proponent of pure tung oil cut with citrus oil solvent (2:1) This is the most natural and least invasive treatment available and one that I utlize with all my termite instruments, especially yirdaki and mago. Hardening oils (tung, linseed, etc)allow the wood to breath but do this at a slower rate, so the drying-wetting cycles are not as shocking to the wood. Eucalyptus is typically very dense wood, so while absorbtion does happen, it's very minimal and only strengthens the inner bore of the instrument.

Best,
Jason
