I put three coats of two pack Polyurethane gloss. Here is more pictures than you need.
These first four pictures are after the first weak coat of polyurethane.
I put the same on the brick steps. With both I don't really like the gloss as opposed to matt, but i can only get floor polyurethane in gloss.
And the rest after the third coat. I wish I could take when there is no glare.
Looks great Erik!

DeleteLooks good! I installed some reclaimed hardwood flooring last winter and wanted a matt finish as well. I went with Tung oil, and while I liked the look of it quite a bit initially it didn't hold up to traffic even after just a few weeks. It also held the dirt and was difficult to keep clean. I was told that any matt finish will have these characteristics. We resanded and went with a semi gloss poly and are much happier now.
