Agenda• 1. Wood basics; Flatsawn, Quartersawn, wood rays• 2. The texture of the wood ring porous, semi-ring porous, diffuse pored• 3. Open pored finishes, semi open pore finishes, closed pore finishes• 4. Surface prep: sandpaper information, CAMI, FEPA, garnet, aluminum oxide, silicon

carbide, zinc state, where to stop sanding: 150, 180,220 sanding (beyond 220 possible faulty adhesion)

• 5. Dye = no pigment, Stain = pigment, binder , carrier, Dye-stain = dye and pigment• 6. What to expect from a dye, dye solvents• 7. What to expect from a stain• 8. Dissect the stain: pigments, binders (oil, varnish, lacquer, waterbase), solvents and solvent

evaporation• 9. Sealers: Amazing how confusing this term to most woodworkers: Sealer definition 1 = first

coat of finish you put on no matter what the flavor. Sealer definition 2 a softened resin zinc stated coating

• 10. Fillers: closed pore finishes• 11. Finishes: penetrating = straight oils• 12. Finishes: transparent coatings =shellac, lacquer, varnish, urethane, two part coatings• 13. Tools for application: rags, brushes, guns• 14. Sanding in between coats• 15. Final rub out• 16. Wax and polish

Wood Basics• >>and their varnish brush for finish, • >>all are china hog bristle and hand flagged and tapered. • I assume you mean the sorting and arranging of the bristle is a hand

operation - it's the hog that• does the tapering and flagging. • BTW - ever wonder why Chinese Bristle is used???? Well it seems

the Chinese prefer older pork• and the bristle on their hogs grows longer. Also - their hogs are

sem-wild and roam free to forage in• sometimes extreme consditions. It's this combibation of climate, diet

and length that's the reason• China has the best bristle. • Jeff Jewitt
