Are you finished with the finishing yet?

There are a myriad of different finishes out there. We’ll help you sort through the the options and how to apply the different finishes. We’ll cover the preparation of the wood surface prior to applying finish. You plane a flat surface on a board and sand a second board. - you'll get to compare how they finish.

We look at oil finishes, varnishes, oil varnish mixtures, and the various polyurethane finishes. We’ll also introduce you to shellac finishes – primarily as a sealant but also as an introduction to building a thicker finish.

The finishes we’ll work with are generally low toxicity and low VOC. We will not be covering two part or sprayed finishes.

We’ll address safety during the finishing process and emphasize the management and safe disposal of finishing rags.
