Furniture Finishers

Furniture finishers bring out the beauty in wood by applying stains, paints, and protective coatings to both new and previously owned pieces. They work with their hands to sand surfaces smooth, repair scratches and dents, and apply multiple layers of finish to create everything from glossy modern looks to antique patinas. On any given day, they might strip old varnish from a vintage dresser, match stain colors to repair a damaged tabletop, or apply lacquer to newly crafted cabinets. The work takes place in workshops or factory settings, where finishers use brushes, spray guns, and specialized tools while following safety protocols for handling chemicals and ventilation.
