Finishes & Coatings
A complete guide to the finishes and coatings we trust — from stains and lacquers to oils, conversion varnish, and modern protective systems.
Built for clients seeking clarity, durability, and long-term performance in refinishing and restoration.
Wood Stains
Stains add color while allowing the natural grain to show through. They are available in a wide range of tones, from light neutrals to deep, rich browns.
- Oil-based stains for rich penetration
- Water-based stains for cleaner, faster drying
- Gel stains for vertical surfaces
- Custom color matching available
Lacquer Finishes
Lacquer is a classic furniture finish known for its clarity, smoothness, and ability to be polished to a high sheen. It is widely used in fine furniture and restoration.
- Fast-drying and durable
- Available in matte, satin, semi-gloss, and high-gloss
- Excellent for modern and traditional pieces
- Can be repaired and blended seamlessly
Conversion Varnish
Conversion varnish is a premium, catalyzed finish known for exceptional durability. It is ideal for high-use furniture and cabinetry.
- Extremely durable and chemical-resistant
- Ideal for tabletops and high-wear surfaces
- Available in multiple sheen levels
- Professional spray application required
Oil Finishes
Oil finishes enhance the natural beauty of wood while providing a soft, hand-rubbed appearance. They are ideal for pieces where a natural look is desired.
- Tung oil for deep, rich penetration
- Danish oil for a balanced natural sheen
- Easy to maintain and refresh
- Ideal for walnut, cherry, and open-grain woods
Water-Based Finishes
Water-based finishes offer clarity, low odor, and excellent durability. They are ideal for clients seeking a modern, environmentally friendly option.
- Crystal-clear appearance
- Fast drying and low VOC
- Excellent for light woods like maple and oak
- Available in multiple sheen levels
Sheen Levels
The sheen level affects both appearance and durability. We help clients choose the ideal balance for their furniture.
- Matte → natural, low-reflection look
- Satin → soft, elegant sheen
- Semi-gloss → balanced shine and durability
- High-gloss → dramatic, mirror-like finish
