Low Sheen on Teak

Hi,

I'm new to the forum and refinishing, so thanks in advance. I recently bought a teak danish modern table. The previous owner had done a very bad job of applying a sealer to the table top. I stripped, prepped and applied several coats of teak oil. It looks beautiful but, as I've just learned, Teak oil doesn't leave any kind of sheen. The rest of the table has a low sheen, and took a few coats of the teak oil beautifully. Also, you can see and feel the grain before and after the oil is applied. What can I now apply to the top that will give me a low sheen to closer match the leaves and the rest of the table?

Thanks

:aro-u::):aro-u: What he said. I'm with Splinter, wax over the top of the teak oil is probably the way to go.
