I think I may have found my own answer on a different thread on this forum. Does this sound pretty resonable:
"
I use a file to profile then hand sand down to 400 grit.
Apply tung oil...leave it on for 10 - 15 min. then wipe off with a clean rag across the grain, dry for a few hours in my "hot box", smooth up with 0000 steel wool. I do this three or four times until all the pores and grain is filled. I then do a "wet" sand with used 400grit using tung oil as the wetting agent. Again wipe clean across grain. After completely drying for 24hrs. +/- , I polish with brown kraft paper (grocery bag) and then apply 2 or 3 coats of wax to finish. I have used my heat gun to bring out the purple but direct sunlight will do a gentler job even through the finish.
