Lard oil is the oil that comes from hog lard having been finely filtered. Lard will work, I am told, but the oil from it keeps better and does not solidify.

Hacker Martin, of TN, would squeeze it out of fatback (unsalted) in a vise with wooden padded jaws. He used it for boring barrels and cutting barrel rifling by hand.
