Finishing Your Way

Factory Finished
Wood Bin Unfinished Furniture offers a wide selection of already finished furniture in a variety of different colors from our manufacturers who offer finished product.


Unfinished
In addition, we offer an outstanding selection of unfinished furniture, which is our specialty. Many of our customers choose to finish their own furniture, which can help make their selections even more affordable, offers the satisfaction of their own workmanship, and gives the option of utilizing colors we may not carry. We sell high quality American made finishing supplies from General Finishes in Wisconsin.


Custom Finished
We are happy to finish your new furniture for you if that is your preference, and hope you will enjoy it for years to come. We use the same quality products that we sell in our store; offering 31 stain and 20 paint colors. Your furniture will be ready to use when you receive it from us. However, the topcoat will be fully cured in 30 days. We ask that you treat it gently for the first month for this reason.


Here are the steps we follow:

  • First, the piece is examined and necessary disassembly done. All drawers, doors and hardware parts are numbered and labeled to insure they go back to the right place when reassembled.
  • Next, hand and power sanding is performed to insure a smooth and flawless surface to receive the finish. Any imperfections are filled or treated at this time.
  • The stain is hand applied, or if you have chosen paint, the color is sprayed on.
  • With a stained item, when thoroughly dry, the first topcoat is evenly sprayed over the colored surface. After drying completely, the entire piece is hand buffed and then hand rubbed to remove dust. This process is repeated for a total of 3 coats of topcoat.
  • With paint finishes, 2-3 coats of paint and one topcoat layer are applied with hand buffing and rubbing between each coat.


No matter what your finishing preference, whether choosing a piece that is already finished, doing it yourself, or enlisting us to do it for you, feel assured that we strive to offer quality and value you will be happy with for years to come.

Breathing Life into Wood

The Artistry of Distressing and Antiquing

The passionate team at Wood Bin believes that furniture finishing transcends mere technique - it's a form of art that allows you to bring your visions to life. The concepts of "distressing" and "antiquing" frequently overlap in the realm of wood finishing. These methods, applied individually or collectively along with glazing, facilitate the creation of a desired level of "aged" charm.


Distressing is a method of texturing the wood to mimic the rich character that comes with generations of use. To begin, gather your tools of artistry, which could include hammers, nails, screws, or old hardware—anything that, when imprinted onto the wood, will leave a mark. Then, unleash your creativity and start crafting those imprints. If you're feeling weighed down by the week, consider distressing as a therapeutic project, offering you a chance to alleviate stress while bringing a piece of furniture to life.


Antiquing, a subset of distressing, employs sanding techniques, often followed by glazing, to emulate the allure of a well-preserved antique piece. This approach imparts a subtle natural wear and discoloration on doors, edges, and a quick visit to a furniture store reveals the popularity of using stains and finishes to create an antique look. However, this aging appearance doesn't stem from time, but from a simple finishing method that you can master with practice. It involves applying stains and topcoats, selective sanding of the "base stain," and wiping in of a "top stain". Therefore, it's recommended to practice on scrap wood to better understand how the stains will interact with your chosen wood.


Glazing is the technique of introducing a translucent color to the wood's surface, with the excess glaze gently rubbed off to yield various effects. This method adds depth and detail to your piece, highlighting its unique contours and features.

Balancing Durability and Aesthetics

Deciding between oil-based and water-based finishes for your wood furniture depends on your specific needs and preferences. Oil-based finishes provide excellent durability and enrich the wood grain beautifully, but they emit strong odors and tend to yellow over time. On the contrary, water-based finishes are eco-friendly, with low odor and easy cleanup, and they maintain the wood's natural color. However, they might raise the grain of the wood and don't deepen the grain as oil-based finishes do. Ultimately, your choice should consider the project's requirements, health implications, and aesthetic aspirations.

The Art of Preparation

Perfecting Your Wood Finishing Process

Wood finishing at Wood Bin Unfinished Furniture is an immersive journey. Visualize your end goal and take your time, ensuring meticulous preparation to achieve professional results. The key step, sanding, distinguishes a satisfactory finish from a remarkable one. Regardless of your project type - whether it's a ready-to-finish piece, a stripped antique, or an assembly kit - it's crucial to handle minor repairs, perfect finish sanding, and address any imperfections using a crack filler. Be cautious of leftover glue as it may resist the stain. Taking these preparatory steps ensures a stunning, cost-effective finished piece that reflects your creativity.
