Help...

I want to refinish our rustic dining room table. It's just stained, with no sealing finish on it.

I'd like to sand it lightly, re-stain and use some sort of finish coat. This is where my question comes in; Bev doesn't want a shiny finish, but we want good protection--what would be the best product to get this result?

Thanks alot in advance...

    Here's a pic of the table if it helps: (I'm guessing it's pine?)

    Table came out real nice, thanks again Jesse. For those wondering, the steps were:

    -Mineral spirits to remove contaminates, wax, ect
    -Light sanding w/220 grit to remove scratches, water glass stains, etc
    -Wipe down to remove sanding dust
    -Stained with minwax golden oak using a brush, let set for 8 minutes before wiping (let set overnight)
    -3 coats of wipe-on minwax poly in satin finish. 3hrs between coats.

    The satin worked perfectly, giving the finish a rubbed look, without being overly shiney. It now matches the finish on the buffet.

    I'll post an "after" pic tonight.
