Like Harry, I apply more than 2 coats of Danish Oil (usually 3 or 4) with a 600 or 800 wet 'n dry rub down while wet then wiped off within 5 mins and with 24 hours drying between each coat. I've found you get 'depth' without a high gloss finish. One thing I have experienced tho' is that the previous coat is liable to scratch if rubbed too hard with the wet 'n dry and the score marks show up under the final coat. That's why I've never been brave enough to use 000 wire wool.
