Yes, i have used Tru Oil. If i recall it is really like a finish more than something you would revitalize the wood with. I believe i put on a few coats, letting it dry in between and then took down the shine just a touch at the end with some 0000 steel wool.
With the BWC wax you cover it with a thin layer of wax, let it sit for a few minutes and then polish it with a soft cloth. It creates a really nice temporary finish that protects the wood nicely. But be prepared to pick out any globs of wax left in the crevices with a toothpick if you have a lot of carved details.
