Description:

Do you have wood furniture, or other surfaces that need refinishing but you don't know where to start? In this introductory class we will introduce some of the more common issues that surfaces encounter, and how to address preparation, sanding, and a couple of different refinishing options.

This is a discussion class — you will learn the hows and whys of refinishing, but you will not make a project to take home.

Topics covered:

✔ Identifying types of wood and wood-like material

✔ Preparing wood for refinishing

✔ Sanding efficiently — when to sand by hand, and when to consider a power tool

✔ Discuss different types of finishes (polyurethane, stains, oils) and when to use them

✔ Understanding finishes (polyurethane, stains, oils) and how to choose the right one for your project

Whether you’re restoring a family heirloom or just trying to fix up a well-loved piece, this class will give you the knowledge and confidence to get started the right way.
