Randy, you are correct in your observations- the large stores do not specialize. I have learned a few methods of finishing lately and have been pleasantly surprised with the results. As hobbyists, I think we are hesitant to get our projects close to completion and become scared when choosing a finish. Some of the hand- rubbed oils and waxes were a good place for me to start. I have also used a spray shellac and found the results very satisfying. Taking the time to choose the proper finish will only make your project more appealing. Like I said before, Jerry has a great deal of knowledge. He is very willing to help. Also, check out the monthly woodworking magazines. There is always tips and tricks. -Derek
