About Unfinished Wood Furniture

What we do

We publish general guides about unfinished wood furniture: what unfinished means, how makers describe wood and materials, ventilation, finish labels, storage, finishes, leftover finish, and anchoring furniture.

What we do not do

Unfinished Wood Furniture is the name of this site, not a store and not a claim about any product. We do not sell furniture, finishes, or tools. We do not publish prices, deals, reviews, ratings, rankings, product picks, or step-by-step building, repair, or finishing instructions, and we do not cover stripping or refinishing old painted furniture. We do not test or rate products. Commissions do not change our guidance. We do not accept payment to recommend a retailer, brand, or product.

How we keep it accurate

Sourced facts come from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), the National Park Service, the Massachusetts Department of Fire Services, the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment, the Code of Federal Regulations (eCFR), and the Federal Register, each linked on the page that uses it. None of them endorses this site or any product. Plain explanations of terms, such as what unfinished means on this site and how makers use words like veneer and stain, are our own.
