Not sure what finish you are looking for but if you are useing oil and want a sheen use tung oil and if you want a darker color and a mat finish to you wood use boiled linseed oil.
when I use any oil I dilute it with turps 50% this is the carrier it drags the oil into the wood and dries a lot quicker, first coat drown the wood and dry over night, then apply as may coats as the wood will absorb or untill you get the desired finish, you can also buff the tung finish for a better sheen, try it it works.
You can also put bees wax over oil and buff but I find it is inclined to leave finger marks
