Chad,
I use General Finish Arm-R-Seal Satin. I purchase it from Rockler. Last year I started putting on two coats of Gloss and the final coat of Satin. A woodworker at Rockler gave me this advise. If you look at the Gloss in the can, it is almost clear. The Satin is more cloudy because of the additive that produces satin finish. By putting on two coats of clear, more of the wood grain shows through. Also, most of my projects are made using Walnut.
