Hi Shawn. Unfortunately, while rattan is an excellent material, it does dry out rather easily once removed from a humid environment.
Living in Florida, I don't normally have a problem, but my better pieces reside in a climate-controlled safe, and I keep a close eye on those.
Rather than mineral oil I use Rennaisance Wax. I apply lightly and work it into the nooks and crannies.
