Types of Wood Finishes

Who doesn't want to keep the relatively expensive wood furniture and other wood handicrafts for years? Wood is durable naturally but then it also gets affected by such factors as humidity, extreme temperatures, moisture, etc. Clear wood finishes protect wood from outer elements such as chemicals, extreme weather conditions and abrasion etc. They also make it shine and give a smooth, clean, and colored surface.
