I am replacing the center panel of a frame and panel kitchen door. The old panel is dull and looks like there is no finish on it. I am using an oil based stain on the panel. I was thinking of using a satin polyurethane on it, but it has more gloss than the old panel.
What can I do to maintain the dull look on the inside?
What happens if I just leave the stain with nothing on top?
Is there a way to reduce the gloss of the satin poly?
Any other suggestions?
Thanks!
