Before the first cut, turned leg, or carved detail, the ultimate success of a project depends on more than craftsmanship-it depends on the finish. Color and finish are as critical to the design as dovetails or joinery, influencing whether a piece looks antique, modern, or inspired by Greene & Greene. In this immersive two-day workshop, finishing expert Tim Puro will guide students through the essential techniques of coloring and finishing wood. Participants will work hands-on to create sample panels and explore how color choices transform a project. By layering colors rather than relying on a single stain, students will gain the skills to produce finishes that are rich, nuanced, and professional. This weekend course offers both practical techniques and insider knowledge-an invaluable experience for anyone aiming to elevate their woodworking projects.
