Wood Refinishing

Do you have wood flooring, furniture, or other surfaces that need refinishing but you don't know where to start? In this introductory class we will introduce some of the more common issues that surfaces encounter, and how to address preparation, sanding, and a variety of different refinishing options.

This is a discussion class — you will learn the hows and whys of refinishing, but you will not make a project to take home.

Topics covered:

• Identifying types of wood and wood-like material
• Preparing wood for refinishing
• Sanding efficiently — when to sand by hand, and when to consider a power tool
• Discuss different types of finishes (polyurethane, stains, oils) and when to use them

Skill level: This class is great for beginners ages 18 and over as well as 16 and 17 year-olds with parent or guardian permission.

Class Schedule: This class will run for 2.5 hours with no break planned

Price: We have moved to a sliding scale pricing model while funding allows! Choose which tier fits your situation best:
