Abstract
Abstract Wood substrates vary in consistency and appearance, making it necessary for the finisher to depend on artistic skills to create an attractive piece of furniture. Formulating the materials to be used in the finishing process can only be done if the chemist has a knowledge of the art of wood finishing. Unlike metal, plastic, or other substrates that require coatings, wood is unique in that no two pieces are the same. Different grain patterns, cell structure, or multiple species used in making a piece of furniture require different finishing materials to be used to achieve the desired appearance. Each material used in finishing wood is an important part of a system. No part of the finishing system is more important than the role that the stain plays. Whether it is to make up for extreme differences in color or texture or to highlight and add contrast to the wood, stains and the manner in which they are used determine whether a particular furniture item will appeal to the consumer.
