I say go to 600 and then polish w/ 000 or 0000 steel wool to whisker TWICE. You cannot make the wood smooth AFTER the finishing starts unless you remove all the finish. So why bother slapping the oil on 320 surface? The better it looks dry the better it will look period. If the wood looks like you want it wet then stain will get you nothing.
But - I have no idea what the Purdys crap will make it look like. Good luck on that. The best stockers in Italy mostly use TruOil. Wonder why?
good luck w/ the limey goo
