Another bison horn question

Working on a simple priming horn. Have sanded to 600 grit, and it's still not anywhere close to shiny.
How do you get them glossy?

I finish with 800 to 1000 depending on the horn. Buff but be careful you can burn it.

How GOLSSY do you want it? I am not a fan of see your face in your horn. Finish sand it with 320 hit it with 0000 put some shoe polish/wax on it and buff it with a shoe brush, then a rag.

On the only horn I completed so far, I put a coat of shellac on it. Gave it a nice color and made it shine.

Rub it down with Brasso, and polish with a soft cloth. Then wax with a good floor wax.

Thanks guys. It's pretty smoothed out, just grayish. Like a haze.
Maybe I'll try the shoe polish, or floor wax trick.
