Many new modern and synthetic products were introduced in the 20th and
21st century, leaving much of the traditional ways of finishing wood
long forgotten. However, woodworking and finishing is an ancient craft
and the oils, waxes, and resins historically used, still produce
beautiful results that are hard to achieve from most any other process.
Whether you are restoring an antique or building a new piece of
furniture, consider using a traditional finish.
