[Woodcarver] another finish ques.?

[Charley]

I carved a stylized roadrunner out of redwood. I have put 5 coats of tong oil and sanded after each coat with 600 grit paper. I can't seem to get a luster or shine on it. After the last coat I hand buffed it and still no deep luster or shine. This is the 1st time i've used tung oil. What am i doing wrong or am I expecting to much.    
thanks for the help
 Charley
