Hi Tom and Charley,
  I have used Formby's tung oil and it comes in semi-gloss and gloss.
Check a large hardware store for it or a paint store.  It works for me.

>> 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
