Dan,
it's a bit more labor but you can get a 'rubbed' finish out of normal high-UV marine varnish which is very similar if not more elegant than a satin varnish. the process is basically very fine sanding and then into polishing of the finish...the youtube link is pretty similar to what i have done.

after this, a high grade carnuba wax puts the finishing touch.
depending on who you are learning from, there is various variations of grits that get worked. my usual is wet 400, 800, 1200, then grey scotchbrite, white scotchbrite on an orbital sander and then wax
