That's the thing, it's very smooth where it's flat, but the boards themselves are in really bad nick - lots of bits sawed and replaced and what have you. But I think that additional layer is the one - I've just bought a big tub of gloss, that should be enough for two coats in our undone room and an additional coat on each of our finished rooms. Do you have any pics of yours?
If you want it smoother you really need to spend more time on it with the right levels of sandpaper - gloss hardwax oil will probably show up roughness even more.
Having said that, if you want a gloss finish I would expect you could add a layer of a gloss hardwax oil just fine. We did ours with a layer of the Osmo amber tint, followed by a layer of Osmo clear gloss.
