Easier Wood Finishing

Posted: 11/12/2010

Old hand or brand new to doing it yourself, you can still enjoy completing a wood-finishing project.

(NAPSI) - You can easily give your own home the same sense of style seen in home decorating magazines, with stylish furniture, bold colors and well-placed accent pieces, by adding just the right splash of color.

Start with an unfinished wood item—perhaps an interesting picture frame or an end table—and take advantage of a one-step stain and finish. It’s a fast, easy way to complete a project because it provides rich color and a beautiful finish in just one step. You simply apply it to bare wood with a soft, clean cloth, remove the excess, wiping lightly in the direction of the wood grain, and the project is complete.

Choosing a color can be simple, because Express Color by Minwax offers four classic wood tones: oak, walnut, mahogany and pecan; and four vibrant decorator shades: emerald, crimson, indigo and onyx.

In addition, the one-step stain and finish has a water-based formula, which means low odor, fast drying time and easy soap-and-water cleanup.
