David, I will say that when mine are freshly-finished, they are a little on the shiny side. But with a little shooting/handling/cleaning the gloss is quickly subdued into the more rich luster that we are after. It doesn't take long, either. The GH in the pic had been done about a year-and-a-half prior, the DH in the foreground maybe 6 mos. prior. Both had been used regularly, though.
