“Rancid” is not really a clearly defined term.
As long as you use tung oil, hemp oil, linseed oil or perilla oil, they will harden to a solid finish.
They will become “rancid”, but then polymerize and dry after some weeks to a month. Hemp and linseed oil may need some UV light and airflow, so you’d have to keep it by the window.
Just don’t use olive oil or other cooking oils, they will just go bad.
Mineral oil will not go bad, but it rubs and washes off with time, so needs to be reapplied constantly.
