So after several coats of Minwax finish

here's the gripsI love walnut.

One thing I've found you can do with the Minwax Antique Oil Finish is after you do the final coat you have a very glossy finish, but:
steel wool it lightly, not down to the wood but scuff the finish thoroughly,
get a piece of soft cloth, put a little finish on it and buff the wood lightly
then let it dry and you get a very nice matte or low-gloss finish. Which I like much better on many things. Best to let it dry a couple of days before use it, so it can dry hard.
