I'm about 20 coats in to a Tru Oil finish & the oil is starting to build up. I like the way it is filling the grain & hardening up, but I'm not much of a fan of the gloss level. To me it feels a bit plasticy & overly glossy. I'm looking back on pictures of the finish after the first couple of coats & I much prefer that low sheen satin, matte look. So I've been looking at ways to knock the sheen back a bit, from cutting compounds to waxes etc..

I think at this stage I want to continue applying coats of Tru Oil, & wet sanding, to fill the grain, & then figure out how to knock back the gloss level.

I've found this: https://shop.birchwoodcasey.com/prod...oz-bottle.html
But I understand it contains silicone, which may not be the best option?.. that is if I don't plan on refinishing it (which I don't). Does anyone have experience using this?

I've also picked up some micro-mesh pads & am contemplating buffing the sheen down with them, or 0000 steel wool, & maybe something like this wax? - https://gillyswaxesandpolishes.com.a...makers-wax-cmw

Does anyone have any tips for achieving a nice matte satin finish with tru oil?
