Any recommendations on how to get a matt finish on a homemade guitar? I want to protect the wood but im not fond of any shine. Any ideas?

matt finish

Oil rubbed finishes are good for this, if you want a natural wood look. They don't protect from physical damage as well as thicker finishes.

its not too hard to acheive a matte finish...just apply the finish as you normally would...and in the final stages instead of polishing w/ a polishing compound, simply buff the finish with some fine steel wool (000, 0000) until you acheive the look/feel you desire.
at least thats how I would do it. I'm sure there are other ways out there.
