How to get matt surface finish

[cx3]

Hi everybody,

I have just finished a long bench and was thinking of giving it a matt finishing. Basically, i am not very fancy of high gloss type of finish (juz personal taste) as it gives the wood a kind of fakey look.

yupz, need help from the experienced out there.

how do i get water resistance yet natural matt looking bench.

use a matt finish..........water resistant finish? technically theres no such thing but a marine grade product is your best choice.

Some polyurethanes come in a low sheen and even a matt finish. Just walk into a paint or hardware store.

Or use a natural look oil/danish oil.

Cheers
