How do I finish my Furniture?

If you don't put any finish on your furniture over time it will change to a silver/gray color.

If you do decide to finish your furniture then here are our recommendations.

  1. Oil/varnish combinations: the easiest to use, flood on, wipe off in 10 to 15 minutes. Continue to touch up as needed.

  2. Oil/Water Based Stain: Your cedar furniture can be stained any color utilizing a good brand of oil or water based stain; paint on, wipe off, maintain as needed.

  3. Paint: To paint cedar you must first utilize an acrylic water based primer followed by a water based acrylic enamel top coat: if you do not use a primer, the cedar will always "bleed through" your top coat.
