With high end wood I like a highly polished gloss to bring out the beauty of the wood. With lesser grades I like satin.

It's like looking at two bathing beauties on the beach, how do you choose? I'm partial to satin. I feel it shows scratches less, more readily repaired. Perhaps you should let the buyer choose. GB GUNNER

Per your requests, I have started the "de-shining" process.
It's pretty hard to start into something like this. Those first few swipes of sandpaper really hurt...

4/0 steel wool is what I have seen used since I was a kid to "de-shine" a stock after refinishing.

Thanks Thurmond.
I'm actually going to re-apply another coat or two. I've got everything out for my Crown stock so I figured, why not? I have synthetic 4/0 steel wool for later on in the process.
With the stuff I used, I could have backed off the finish with rubbing compound as well.

I like the kind of gloss from Tru-Oil, but a real gun oil soaked in over time finish that's sorta satin-ish is vey handsome as well. They both have their place.
