When you say High gloss tung oil, did you mean tung oil finish? Or pure tung oil?

I like this stuff, not too thick and flattens out nicely.

Good looking job! The next time do the checkering with a 50/50 mix with a thinner. I am not sure what to thin Tung oil with but I use Tru-oil and thin it with minerial spirits. I only apply one coat on the checkering.
