hard (not impossible) to do by hand.

I personally used a straight edge to fight high spots and a belt sander. took a few evenings. here it is before oil. its 8 feet long. down t0 500 grit

Would it have been easier/simpler to put though a thickneser before assembly?

Having lifted scratched wood flooring, taken 1mm off to remove the marks then reinstalled then re varnished when installed properly. It was to make a point that the floor was poor and the instal was worse.

I don't do that because we like to preserve the zero VAC properties of pure oil.

Tung actually will polymerize on it's own unlike other other oils which only get absorbed, but you can add a solvent to aid in penetration or polymer to speed hardening.
