The Perfect Finish: Woodworking Finishes for all Projects

Rockler carries everything you need to put the “finishing” touches on your woodworking project—for beauty and for protection. A huge variety of stains and dyes will give you just the tone you need, before topcoating with one of our finishes. For the topcoat, we offer a variety of tough modern polyurethanes, both oil- and water-based, lacquers, as well as the tried-and-true traditional standards like Watco, shellac, french polish and a variety of oil finishes. Shop a complete assortment of clear finishes, specialty finishes and other finishing supplies, along with all of the accessories you need to create a long-lasting, beautiful wood finish. 

Looking for a high-quality finish in less time with less stress? Pick up a spray gun and discover the difference. We offer a range of spray systems, including siphon systems and HVLP, which is known for its compatibility with small shops.

Of course, no finish will truly shine without the right sanding supplies. Rockler carries sandpaper and other abrasives in a huge variety of sizes and shapes to get into even the tightest corners. A variety of patterns fit virtually every machine sander, and our sanding blocks will grease those elbows. The grits, of course, run from the roughest to the very finest to make each stage of sanding easier, and to ensure a glassy-smooth finished surface.

You’ll also find a large variety of the highest quality wood glues, adhesives and wood fillers at Rockler.com, including Titebond glue, Famowood wood filler and Titebond wood adhesive. As any woodworker knows, finishing starts at the beginning.
