FAQ
Do I have to refinish my furniture?
Yes! Yes! There are many methods to refinish antique furniture without hiring a professional. Here are some suggestions:
Use sandpaper on the surface to remove any stains or scratches. Use a clean cloth to wipe the surface.
Apply clear polyurethane varnish. Let dry completely before moving furniture around.
Use acrylic paint to paint furniture.
Instead of painting, use stain. You can give your furniture a rich appearance with stain.
Shellac wax can be applied. Wax will protect the wood and add shine.
How long does it take for furniture to be finished?
It depends on the wood type you choose, the complexity and the amount you apply to the finished product. For example, hardwoods require more maintenance than softwoods. Hardwoods also tend to be more expensive than softwoods. But they last longer, and resist moisture better. Finishing furniture can take anywhere from one week up to three months.

How To
How can you accurately measure wood?
We have several ways to measure wood. We use a digital ruler (a tool to measure distances), laser level (used for leveling your work surface), and bubble level (used for levelling your work surface).
A digital caliper has two jaws that open and close. One jaw holds the measured object while the other measures the distance between the two points. The digital calculator is ideal for measuring very small distances, like the thicknesses or wood.
Laser levels use an infrared beam of light to project a line across the ground. The laser emits a red dot on the line. You can check if the surface is level by looking down at the line. Large surfaces can be checked for accuracy with laser levels.
Bubble levels look similar to a compass. The center of the device contains a bubble. The device will indicate whether the surface is level as long as it is centered. The bubble levels can be used to check the accuracy of smaller areas.
