  August 27 Meeting of the Olympia Woodworkers Guild

  Presentation:  The Art of Applying Finishes to Wood

  Presenter:  Cody Hanson

  Cody Hanson (OWWG Member) will describe methods of applying finishes to wood. Cody encourages any questions/comments people may have and will lead discussion about them.   He will bring some examples of common finishes on a variety of types of wood.  

  Cody comes from a long line of highly skilled woodworkers.  As he says, "I started really paying attention to finishing after college when I didn't have space or money to build things, and I would salvage older pieces and restore them. I discovered I really enjoy the variance and final aspects of finishing. "
