Aside from a handful of scenarios, this is probably the type of paint you want to use when it comes to wood. Sheen, or gloss, is the amount of light reflected in your paint. High-gloss paints will appear to shimmer when exposed to light, while matte paints will absorb light and hide imperfections. When choosing a paint, look for descriptions of sheen and buy accordingly. It doesn't help to be cheap with paint; any savings you get by choosing cheaper paint will be sunk when the paint under performs and you need to buy supplies for a whole new project.

Tap the paintbrush on the side of the paint bucket, turn the paintbrush 180, and tap the other side of the paintbrush against the bucket. You should have a fully-loaded paintbrush with just the right amount of paint for good coverage. Brush evenly using somewhat shorter strokes. Repeat this three to four times until one segment of your wood is fully covered. Try not to let the paint stand very long between coats. This process is called tipping, and it helps you get good coverage while minimizing brushstroke appearance. The brushstrokes will flatten out as the paint dries, which is one of the reasons why slow drying paint is important. Depending on the paint you're using, as well as the finish you want to achieve (some people want the grain of the wood to stand out; others don't), you probably want to apply more than one coat. Before the final coat of paint, work over the dried painted surface lightly with a very fine sandpaper. This will give your final coat a nice surface to grip onto.
Summary: Choose your type of paint. Choose a kind of sheen for your paint. Whatever kind of paint you choose, use high quality paint and brushes. Load your paintbrush with paint. With a loaded brush, start from the top of the wood and move down. Use an unloaded brush to pull the tips across the paint. Wait for the paint to dry fully before repeating the process one to two more times.
