Im finishing my guitar wall clock project and don't know how to finish it. The tanguile wood is already grain filled, and stained.
So here's my problem, the only finish i know is clear glossy polyurethane but I don't like the finish plus dust sticks to it even sanding and with 2nd, 3rd coating and I hate the hard plastic feel.
I want a finish with a natural feel of wood and not glossy. Some suggested linseed oil and Mineral oil.
Any tips or advice on finishing my project? and where can i buy it?
Thanks in advance!

Re: Help: Other finish aside from polyurethane and laquer.
What did you use to fill and stain it?
It's important that the final finish is compatible with whatever was applied before.
I always try to use the same brand of final finish with the stain and/or sealer. Less risk. Sometimes, the final product will be ok for several months before problems appear.
On the poly finish, there are different "shiny-ness" options: flat, satin, or glossy. The flat may be what you need.d It does not depart too much from the natural look you are looking for.
If the stain/sealer you applied are oil-based and you want that wood-feel, you may want to consider oil. Choices could be linseed (though difficult to find) or tung oil (less hard to find but still difficult). I like using Sadolin Hardwood Oil. It's available in some of the hardware chains (Wilcon< DIY, True Value...)

Thanks for the tip balarila!!
Linseed oil was my first choice. Actually it's very easy to find. There's one hardware shop near SM Sucat that sells Gallons of pure linseed oil. I was talking to the owner for router bits and it so happens that i open up a conversation about woodworks.
