Wood finishing requires that you consider how the finishing process will affect the final result. It is important to consider how the finishing process will affect the final result when planning for wood finishing. Avoid squeeze-out glue from joints as it will reduce stain and finish absorption. To avoid further damage to the wood, any glue excess should be removed. Wood moisture can affect the staining process. This can cause wood to shrink and stress coatings. Consideration should also be given as to whether the finished timber will be in direct contact with food.
