As a professional furniture maker and finisher, I want to work with the best finishing products available. My enthusiasm for these materials has led me to stock and sell them to decorative artists, woodworkers and professionals who make fine furniture, restore antiques, or work with fine interior cabinetry and flooring. The product list contains:

Shellacs
Waxes
Stains
Varnishes
Oils

Decorative Paints
Specialty Abrasives
Polish Cloths
Brushes and
Touch up Supplies

I rely daily on the performance of these products. If your experience is like mine, you know that the real cost of finishing is not just the material expense. It includes your time for preparation, application, and clean up. Minimal solvent use, safety, and conservation of materials also affect productivity and cost. Special brushes and polish cloths make jobs go faster.
