Finishing Intermediate I20

The finish on any woodworking project is not only protective, but can greatly enhance the beauty and appearance of any piece—if it is chosen thoughtfully and applied properly. This hands-on course will focus on more advanced finishing techniques, including spray finishing, varnish, and lacquer, and you will make several samples to build your skills and refine your technique. Instructor Jim Altman is one of the best finishers in the country, so come prepared with all of your finishing questions.

• Color theory, and why you need to know it
