Wood finishing refers to embellishing and protecting the surface of wood. There are different types of finishes including evaporative, reactive, and coalescing. Common wood finishes are wax, shellac, polyurethane, tung oil, linseed oil, nitrocellulose lacquer, and alkyd varnish. Each finish has unique properties such as providing gloss, durability, penetrating wood, or leaving character marks.

4. DIFFERENT
FINISHES

5. Wax
Waxes confer matting effects and
wear resistance to paints.
Polyethyelene waxes are
incorporated into inks in the form
of dispersions to decrease friction.

7. Shellac
Shellac provides a glossy
finish, but lacks durability. This
means that you will need to
apply a new coat more often
than you would with other
finishes.

9. Polyurethane
Polyurethane is available in satin
and high-gloss formulas. The
durability of polyurethane makes
it ideal for finishing high traffic
areas like floors, tables and
desktops.

11. Tung Oil
Tung oil is a penetrating oil
varnish that is derived from the
seed of the tung tree. In addition
to varnish, tung oil is available in
pure and polymerized forms.

13. Linseed Oil
Linseed oil is a traditional
penetrating finish material that
leaves a glossy finish. You can mix
linseed oil with a variety of other
elements to create a specific kind of
character for your finish.

15. Nitrocellulose
Lacquer
is a somewhat imprecise term for a
clear or coloured varnish that dries by
solvent evaporation and often a curing
process as well that produces a
hard, durable finish, in any sheen level
from ultra matte to high gloss and that
can be further polished as required.

17. Alkyds varnish
Alkyds are used in paints and in
moulds for casting. They are
the dominant resin or "binder"
in most commercial "oil-based"
coatings.
