Of course, you have to have some woodworking knowledge and be good at working with your hands. When you buy unfinished furniture, the final steps in the construction process are left for you to so.

Each piece of solid wood furniture is unique and has its own grain pattern and color, according to the character of the wood. Light and dark areas blend during the finishing process to produce the uniquely attractive look of real wood furniture.

Although you can paint or varnish unfinished furniture boca raton, the most commonly used finishing processes is staining and top coating. First you must prepare the wood surface. Most unfinished pieces need additional fine sanding (less than 180-grit paper) before finishing to avoid roughness that will show when the stain is applied. Always sand in the direction of the grain. If you used wood fill on minor imperfections, sand the areas of fill well or the stain might not be properly absorbed.

Stains contain colored pigments that often settle to the bottom of the can. Mix the stain thoroughly before applying. It may be worth a trip to the paint store to get them to put the stain on the mixing machine.
Most people recommend using foam brushes to apply the stain to unfinished furniture boca raton. I like to use two sponges�one to apply the stain and one to wipe off the excess. I wear rubber gloves because my method is messy but I find it easier to achieve a more even color that way.

Read and follow the manufacturer�s directions. They know their products and will tell you how to get the best results. Do a test by staining an inconspicuous area. If the stain looks evenly coated and you like the look, one coat staining is adequate. If the stain is too light or uneven, a second coat of stain may be needed before the topcoat is applied.

Stain one surface at a time, and do the corners and uneven areas first. As you stain each area, wipe with the grain to remove excess stain, and then move to another area. As you finish, go back over the entire piece with a clean rag to pick up all excess stain and wipe the surface dry.

Most clear topcoats are designed to be wiped on not brushed. Use a clean rag or new sponges. I like to use three coats of topcoat on all visible areas and a single coat on the unseen areas. After the topcoat is thoroughly dry, use very fine #600 sandpaper to remove the �fuzz� and then wipe each sanded area with a tack cloth. I like to finish the unfinished furniture boca raton off with paste furniture wax.
