M1 Stock refinishing question

[JKL]

I have "cleaned" (not stripped) my Garand stock with lacquer thinner and have applied about 5 coats of BLO over the past several days. Since the last coat of BLO I have put three or four coats of wax (Howard "Feed and Wax") on the stock--and now I am beginning to think I should have done more coats of BLO to get the look I really want. My question to the experts is simply this--can I apply BLO over the wax onto the stock as it is now, or do I have to back to the beginning and take off the wax with Lacquer thinner and basically start from scratch? Will the new BLO coats penetrate the wax I have applied? Thanks for your input....JKL
