As ICBM says it's very porous, I used a grain filler first which got most of the grain flat, but a few bits are showing, also tung oil can take forever to dry, better with Tru Oil or another boiled linseed oil.

Thinking that will be fine enough not to totally strip it, but just remove the top later and hopefully sort that sticky feel.
Just get it re-done in polyester or polyurethane, much better...

How did you do it?
I understand it will look nice in 20 years playing time, but paying top dollar for something that can't rest on most stands, something that is forever sticky/soft to me is nuts.
Did/do Gibson do poly finishes on their higher end guitars?

Stands to reason, those with a poly finished guitar want nitro, those with nitro want poly
There real cause of contention with either is cost cutting by the big 2. Poly is fine as long as it's not super gloopy thick like it is on low end Fenders. Nitro is fine as long as its not the "doesn't set up ever" sort.
1, The blood of a dozen black Crevecoeur cockerel.
2, Six Virgins it doesn't matter if they are male or female of a mixture of both, I know in this day and age finding one yet alone six virgins is next to impossible, however I can help you on you hunt for six by giving you the name of one confirmed virgin - @Hertz32
3, A copy of 'Super Freak' by Rick James on 8 track, and the 8 track player tp play it of course
4, A really cool looking sharp knife, a stanley knife will do at a pinch if you are on a really tight bydget or simply have no taste.
5, A herd of goats, a mixture of both male and female goats, and they must be alive and healthy.
Here are the instructions on what you are goiing to need to do:
1. First off you want to strip yourself off baresrse naked, that's right, right down till you're wearing nothing but your best birthday suit.
2. You want to completely cover every inch of yourself with the blood of the dozen black Crevecoeur cockerels, it must be a dozen, not less, nor more, and they it must be the blood of black Crevecoeur cockerels, no other breed of cockerels will work as a substitute, and you must cover every inch of your body with the blood, ytou can't miss even the slightest hard to reach place, so you may need the help of a close friend for this bit.
3. A full blast using the 8 track player you must play Rick James' amazing anthem 'Super Freak' while slitting the throats and generally sacrificing the lives of the six virgins while preforming the 'guitar neck dance'.
4. While 'Super Freak@ is still playing on the old 8 track you muct shag each and every goat at list twice.
If you follow these instructions to the letter and with a bit of luck, and the planets being in the right alignment, and everything goes right, you will either end up with a nicely stripped guitar neck, if not, you will probably end up on the same list as Rolf Harris, Jimmy Savile and Gary Glitter. I therefore suggest you read these instructions at least twice before you begin stripping your guitar neck.

Tru Oil comes off with good acetone, not nail varnish remover with its additives.
I made a mess of a sanded maple fretboard once, acetone took it clean off no problem.
