About This Workshop
A finishing bootcamp is a no nonsense “this is what you need to know” class to develop and improve a student’s wood finishing skills. Tim will demonstrate ways to apply finishes including brushing, ragging and spray.
Understanding color and how to mix and apply dyes and stains are important to any successful finishing as well as surface preparation. During the workshop, students will make sample boards that can be used in the future as story boards to obtain perfect finishes. This class will increase participants skills and confidence in finishing their next project, and it will be fun too.
