I've been lurking around here for some time, learning from the masters. I'm working on a walnut jewelry box for SWMBO. I've asked some of the local folks for finishing ideas and for better or worse decided to go with tung oil. This is my first time using it ( mistake 1 ? ). I have a piece of scrap that I've applied three coats to, following the directions on the can over the last three days allowing 24hrs between coats. The results still aren't quite what I thought they would be in regards to the sheen. When I applied the first coat and saw how much it brought out the figure I thought I was on the right track. Is there a "rule of thumb" on how many coats of tung oil it takes to have a really great looking end result?
TIA
