In looking at the Formby line of tung oil finishes, I see both low-gloss and high-gloss versions. For example http://amazon.com/gp/product/B000BZZ4ZU/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Despite "tung oil" in the name, the label's fine print calls the product a "varnish". What does this mean? Are these finishes suitable for lute soundboards? Would the high-gloss version make less noise when the right hand fingers slide around on the soundboard incident to playing? To get on or off this list see list information at http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute-admin/index.html
