I just need to get the glare knocked back without turning the finish white. maybe a 1500 grit sanding then the timberluxe?

I use pumace, but it can be done by going over the stock very lightly with the finest steel wool. If you go too far, just apply another coat or two of oil and rub off with a clean cotton cloth. Are you using straight linseed oil or an oil based finish?

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.
