    Question How to get matt surface finish

    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.

    C:confused:

    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
    Do or do not.....

    Just try on a piece of scrap timber first.
