Also, Birchwood Casey's stock polish can be used to take off some of the sheen. Just go very lightly.
Timberlux is a finish and is not used to knock back the sheen on a stock.

Hey Tom, I used Minwax antique oil, it was easy to use and gave a nice mirror finish, but thats not what I thought it was going to do, I did sand with 1500 and boiled linseed and the finish came out right where I wanted it, I'll have to go over it again as there were some small dips I couldnt see where the oil cured, but after sanding and adding linseed I can see where its shiny from the minwax.
Thanks guys for all your help I really do appreciate it!
