So I got this wrist rest today. It's all sanded, stained, etc. However, no oil has been applied to it. I'm not sure which would be best to use, since it's stained black. I would like to not have any kind of yellow tinge to it after applying the oil. Is mineral oil my best option? I have no idea which kind of wood it is either.

tung oil

Would that not give it quite a lot of colouration?

I use olive oil on the ones I make.

Clear varnish. Or a couple coats of clear poly, going over it with a Brillo pad between each coat.

Urethane will be a "sticky" surface for skin contact. Wood working stores have a variety of oils for non cloated surfaces.
