Thread: What is furniture finished with now a days?

I know some of our suff was done with shellac, alcohol took it all off... 800 buck coffee table not worth it's weight in scrap pine. This was before I worked out I could do stuff myself, learnt how to French polish well the amount of times I cut back and re did that table. To tell you the truth about annually with my kids wear and tear and I found out the hard way they don't like grog.

mum has just baught a lot of pre fabish stuff, and to tell you the truth the workmanship is shocking, obviously they don't know how to use a sander... It was expensive furniture done in tas oak. Pretty timber but shonkily put together and not finished we'll. imagine a table top of 45 mm slats butted well and then at one side 20 and 15 mm slats used to give it the right width. She als got a table and entertainment unit of the same. 8k later I'm not game enough to point out the flaws.

so the question is what would you think they are finishing it in, it looks like varnish of some description, I'm assuming sprayed on as it marks when you fart next to it.

any and all help appreciated.

she will not let me do it but they need a decent finish or they need a lot more coats of the original.

cheers
Dean.

PS please ignore stupid spelling and grammatical mistakes as the iPad likes to put its own words in. At least I'm not sporting wood around my mother in law...
