Finishing

About Our Selection

Our selection of wood finishing supplies includes traditional and modern products suited to everything from fine furniture and turnings to musical instruments and food-contact items.

If you want to highlight the natural beauty of wood with a hand-rubbed appearance, explore our drying oils and hard wax oils, which penetrate the wood, enhance the grain and color, and are easy to maintain or repair. For a soft sheen and a finish that can be renewed quickly, waxes are ideal as a standalone treatment for low-wear pieces or as a topcoat over other finishes.

For projects requiring a traditional finish with excellent clarity and repairability, browse our shellac section. Shellac remains a favorite among furniture makers and restorers for its warm appearance and ease of application.

When durability and moisture resistance are priorities, our varnishes and lacquers provide long-lasting protection. These finishes are well suited to table tops, cabinetry and other surfaces that can be subjected to hard use.

If you need to to alter or enhance the color of wood before applying a topcoat, visit our stains and dyes section. Dyes offer vibrant, transparent color, while stains help emphasize grain and create a wide range of traditional or contemporary looks.

For complete color coverage or historically inspired finishes, our paints selection includes authentic milk paint and traditional linseed oil paint. We also offer a broad assortment of wood-finishing tools and application accessories.

Whether you're looking for a penetrating oil, a protective varnish or specialty finishing products for restoration work, you'll find the materials needed to produce a durable, attractive result.
