For Guns I usually apply 6 - 8 coats (one per day) and if you leave the final coat alone, you will have a shine - but if you want more of a satin finish just lightly hit it with some 0000 steel wool for a few seconds.
REALLY lasts and if you ever scuff, ding or damage an area, just repair, scuff up and apply several more coats - works like a charm! The GREAT thing is if you use the 100% stuff, it NEVER goes bad, never expires and never has to be thrown out due to age! There are no solvents in it to evaporate or separate. 
It is also non-toxic so you can apply and rub in with your bare hands. |
Have also been using the Hopes 100% tung oil on a variety of projects including handgun stocks, rifle stocks, and furniture. You can order it on Amazon, about $27/ quart, but that will go a long way.
