I am doing a JEM project and was about to win some tung oil but i thought danish oil was better so retracted my bid and got danish.
Which ones better in your opinions?

Tung works great for bodies and necks, never heard about danish...
Tru Oil.
I would recommend Waterlox Original, a tung-oil based varnish:

The majority of the "tung oil" products out there contain very little actual tung-oil, but are instead a combination of oil and polyurethane varnish. This is not a bad thing - pure tung oil provides very little protection and takes forever to dry. The waterlox product provides excellent protection and looks great. A cheaper alternative would be Minwax tung oil finish or Formby's tung oil finish. The Minwax has more oil in it than the Formby's - whether this is good or bad is subject to debate.
