The tung oil is complete on my walnut Mannlicher stock. A dull matte finish. I'd like to add just a little gloss. Many sources say to put one or two coats of linseed on top, to finish it off (Professional Stockmaking by Wesbrook, et al), another says paste wax after oil rests for a few weeks, another says CC Lemons conditioning oil but also to give a final wipe w mineral spirits (no reason given, from Mark Silver).
The tung oil just too matte for me, it needs a touch more. Any recommendations?
