Experienced craftsmen and women all have a "go-to" finish -- a versatile wood finish that takes minimal time and effort to apply. They use this for most projects, simplifying their finishing needs. These needs vary, so Nick shows how to find your personal go-to finish from the hundreds of choices that are available to you. He starts with some basic "coating chemistry" to reduce confusion and help you make an informed choice. Then he walks you though a simple experiment designed to compare the characteristics of popular commercial finishes.

Nick has gathered high-resolution photos of the test boards and plastic plates he used to compare seven finishes in article titled, "Comparing Wipe-On Finishes." This is available for FREE from the Workshop Companion General Store at https://workshopcompanionstore.com/

He has also updated a section from his finishing book on reading wood finish labels and Safety Data Sheets titled "Labels and Data Sheets: Incomplete Information." This too is available for FREE at https://workshopcompanionstore.com/
