About

Experiment with numerous finishes on a sample board to take home and use for future reference. The class is four sessions to allow drying time as you go through all of the steps:

  • how to prepare the surface to help ensure an excellent finish.
  • which stains and finishes work best on different types of solid wood and plywood.
  • which tools and techniques to use when applying stains and finishes by hand (ie, without spraying).
  • which products are compatible with one another — and which ones aren't.

If you have a project that needs finishing, you are welcome to bring it or to share a picture of it during the class and to consult with the instructor on the best approach. (A later class will focus on refinishing — it is not the topic of this class.)

Materials

A $25 materials fee, included in the class cost, covers all materials you need.

Prerequisites

This class is open to students who have taken Orientation to the Woodshop.

Class Policies

  • Ages 14 and up are welcome.
  • You must wear closed-toe shoes.

Carol Fiedler-Kawaguchi

Carol Fiedler-Kawaguchi is a professional woodworker who specializes in restoration of antique furniture through her business, C-Saw, on Bainbridge Island. After earning a fine arts degree from Western Washington University, she worked in New Mexico as an apprentice ceramicist and then as an apprentice violin maker, developing her skills in fine woodworking and traditional finishes. She began designing and building custom furniture in the mid-1980s. Her interest in European, Early American, and Asian antiques led her to focus on their restoration and repair.

Land Acknowledgment

“Every part of this soil is sacred in the estimation of my people. Every hillside, every valley, every plain and grove, has been hallowed by some sad or happy event in days long vanished.” – Chief Seattle 1854

We would like to begin by acknowledging that the land on which we gather is within the ancestral territory of the suq̀ʷabs̆ “People of Clear Salt Water” (Suquamish People). Expert fisherman, canoe builders and basket weavers, the suq̀ʷabs̆ live in harmony with the lands and waterways along Washington’s Central Salish Sea as they have for thousands of years. Here, the suq̀ʷabs̆ live and protect the land and waters of their ancestors.
