2. Wood stain - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wood_stain

   Wood stain "Rosewood color" is a type of paint used to colour wood comprising colourants dissolved and/or suspended in a vehicle or solvent. Pigments and/or dyes are largely used as colourants in most stains. The initial application of any paint or varnish is absorbed into the substrate similarly to stains, but the binder from a stain resides ...

3. Wood finishing - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wood_finishing

   Wood finishing refers to the process of refining or protecting a wooden surface, especially in the production of furniture where typically it represents between 5 and 30% of manufacturing costs. [1][2] Finishing is the final step of the manufacturing process that gives wood surfaces desirable characteristics, including enhanced appearance and ...

   Varnish is a clear transparent hard protective coating or film. It is not to be confused with wood stain. It usually has a yellowish shade due to the manufacturing process and materials used, but it may also be pigmented as desired. It is sold commercially in various shades.

5. Danish oil - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Danish_oil

   Danish oil is a hard drying oil, meaning it can polymerize into a solid form when it reacts with oxygen in the atmosphere. It can provide a hard-wearing, often water-resistant satin finish, or serve as a primer on bare wood before applying paint or varnish. It is a "long oil" finish, a mixture of oil and varnish, typically around one-third ...

6. Tung oil - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tung_oil

   Tung oil or China wood oil is a drying oil obtained by pressing the seed from the nut of the tung tree (Vernicia fordii). Tung oil hardens upon exposure to air (through polymerization), and the resulting coating is transparent and has a deep, almost wet look. Used mostly for finishing and protecting wood, after numerous coats, the finish can ...

7. Thermally modified wood - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermally_modified_wood

   Thermally modified wood is engineered wood that has been modified by a controlled pyrolysis process of wood being heated to (> 180 °C) in an oxygen free atmosphere. This process changes to the chemical structures of wood's cell wall components lignin, cellulose and hemicellulose which decreases its hygroscopy and thus increases dimensional stability. [1] Low oxygen content prevents the wood ...
