   We have been providing high quality, low toxic Tung Oil wood finishes for 48 years. A former client of the company, I was brought in to assist with marketing and the rest is history! Our company has grown by clients recommending our products and our outstanding customer service, our web presence and selective print media. As a professional wood-finisher, a large focus of what we do is guide and teach people how to create beautiful and lasting spaces both indoors and outdoors. We assist architects, contractors, designers, decorators, home owners and hobbyist with product selection, sampling, project specific finishing schedules and a heavy dose of hand holding through all kinds of projects. Each project is an important project! Each sale is valued from a pint to a 55 gallon drum.
