Perfect Wood Finishing


Description
Ever wish you knew more about wood finishing? In Perfect Wood Finishing, we’ll show you how to get the best possible finish for all your woodworking projects, whether you’re building a basic knotty pine bookshelf, a complicated cherry cabinet or an oak trestle table. You’ll learn how to use stains, polyurethanes, penetrating oil finishes and more as we walk you through the entire finishing process, from first sanding to final buffing.

Not every wood takes stain and finish the same way. In Perfect Wood Finishing, we’ll explain what your choices in stains and finishes are and how to avoid making mistakes when you use them. Included in the class are tips on proper sanding, brushing techniques, wood fillers, cleanup, and other details that can affect finish quality.

Our experts will teach you how to apply a spray finish and how to make painted woodwork look flawless. Make your woodwork shine and Join Perfect Wood Finishing today!
