You're allowing the coats to dry TOO long.
You want to allow the coats to dry just to a slightly tacky state that can still be buffed off.
Per the can's directions, if it's too tacky, apply a little more oil to soften the coat then buff.
On the final "color coat", use a thin coat, and buff within just a very few minutes, since it tacks-up much faster than the earlier coats.
As with most finishes, as the grain is filled up, the coats start drying faster and faster.
For buffing, I use old LINEN sheets, not flannel. These are fairly lint-free.
Just don't let the coats dry so long.
