Default Tung Oil Finish question

I'm applying extra coats of tung oil, as recommended by the maker, to two pairs of fancy grain Herrett stocks. I've applied five or six coats, allowing at least twenty-four hours drying time and knocking each coat down with OOOO steel wool. My question is this: how best do I apply the last coat? Thin it with mineral spirits? Do I steel-wool it and apply paste wax? Leave it as is? As is will be a little glossier than I'd like so that part is probably answered already. Thanks in advance.
