Rick, before you try to dull down your finish, make sure it is fully cured. Especially if it's an oil finish. What i like to do is take an old mustard bottle and mix some mineral oil with rottenstone. The ratio is not important, just put in enough rottenstone to thicken it up so it's not so runny. Shake it up and squirt some on a soft cotton cloth and rub away with circular,even motion. The rottenstone along with the mineral oil is so fine that it's cutting action is very slow and subtle. You will have to wipe the stock with mineral spirits to check your progress due to the mineral oil making the finish still shine. I have found this to be effective an effective way without removing to much at a time.
