Sam Maloof's Finishes

Sam Maloof, one of America’s most accomplished woodworkers, has used these same finishes on pieces placed in museums and the White House. Sold in pint and quart size cans.

	''One of the most important aspects of finishes, I believe, is that they invite me to touch, to caress, and to take pleasure in the wood surface.'' Sam Maloof.
Maloof’s Poly/Oil Finish A custom blend of polyurethane varnish and natural oils developed by Sam Maloof to beautifully finish his finest pieces. Ideal for use on furniture, cabinets and millwork. Enlivens wood grain and adds warmth to it’s color. Gives your project the look of hand rubbed satin finish in half the time it takes using pumice and rottenstone. Consider using Sam Maloof's Oil/Wax for the final coat to complete the look.
