I am applying BLOicon to a 1955 Garsnd, CMPicon Colkector Grade, the stock is beautiful, bu quite dull looking, I have hit it with two good coats of BLOicon, but it is as if I put none on, still flat /dull with no shine at all

Does this mean it is so dried out I just have to keep adding coats of BLO? Or is this normal and I should not be looking for it to shine up at all?

Thanks for any advice you might have for me.
