Finishing, Sanding, and Glues
Badger Brushes
Redtree Industries’ Badger Brush is handcrafted with 100% natural bristle, making it a top choice for oil-based paints, stains, varnishes, urethanes and shellac.
Painters Pyramids
The usual way of finishing the top side immediately after bottom the is to flip the project and set it on a large board studded with nails.
Synthetic Finishing Pads
These pads are great for knocking down raised grain before the first coat of finish, and for removing “nubbies” between coats. Because they’re synthetic, they’re perfect for water-based finishes where steel wool would cause rust problems.
Nordic Oil
Puts a lustrous finish on turnings. Specially formulated mix of pure oils, resins and driers produces a tough, durable finish on highly burnished surfaces such as turned bowls and vases. Non-toxic once dried. May be applied to surfaces that come in to contact with food.
Sam Maloofs Finishes
Sam Maloof, one of America’s most accomplished woodworkers, has used these same finishes on pieces placed in museums and the White House. Sold in pint and quart size cans.
Toymakers Finish
Safe for use on children’s toys and furniture. A completely non-toxic finish when cured.
