Intro to Finishing

with Pete Summers

Wednesday, May 21, 6 PM - 9 PM

Are you just starting woodworking or feel overwhelmed by the wide variety of finishes available? Are you unsure whether to use water-based or oil-based finishes? Does the thought of using a stain terrify you? This class can help. This class addresses the following questions:  Why use a finish on my project?  What different types of finishes are currently on the market?  What is a build finish compared to a penetrating finish?  What preparation is necessary when finishing certain woods?  What happens if you sand too much, or too little?  How does the type of wood affect stain and finish?  What should I consider when using a sanding sealer or pore filler?  Why must you sand between coats on some finishes and not others?  When may one type of finish be preferred over another? The class will include samples of different finishes and quick demonstrations showing the effects of different finishes on different types of wood.
