"MY Furniture Creations LOVES your products. We used your Antique Walnut Gel Stain and Arm-R-Seal Topcoat to turn this Mid-Century side table into a beautiful piece my client can once again use in their home."
Edmund Haremski made this beautiful modern hall table as a wedding present for a friend using cherry, red oak and General Finishes Arm-R-Seal Gloss Top Coat!
"This oak dresser had been in the family for over 50 years when my client decided to give this work horse an update. I stripped the top and refinished both the drawer fronts and top with Java Gel followed by several coats of Arm-R-Seal. The frame was lightly sanded and painted with three coats of Lamp Black and sealed with Arm-R-Seal as well. Hopefully this latest round of furniture TLC will give this sturdy little dresser another good 50 years of life!" Trillium Park Designs of Olympia, WA
Can't get over this amazingly beautiful antique secretary desk by Rehab to Fab! Stephanie of Rehab to Fab says "I sanded, stripped & cleaned the exiting finish off. Once it was a clean slate I used General Finishes Antique Walnut on the drawer fronts & their Java Gel Stain on the rest of the piece. I could of stained the entire piece in one or the other but I can't help to be different. I then sealed it all with GF’s Arm-R-Seal in Satin. The inside letter compartment is painted in...
"This table had been previously stripped (you can see the old paint underneath) The top needed a coat of stain and top coat. I could have painted it but sometimes you just need listen to the piece. So I cleaned it really well, lightly buffed with fine sand paper and added a coat of General Finishes Light Oak Oil Based Wood Stain. A couple coats of Arm-R-Seal & its look beautiful again." - Rehab to Fab
Rehab to Fab says, "I loved the natural color so much but wanted a hint of color. So I did 2 coats of 50/50 Shellac/D-Natured alcohol. Then several coats of General Finishes Arm-R-Seal for durability."

This project has received rave reviews from woodworkers around the...

Stunning transformation from Studio Paint_ of Fonthill, Ontario! The night tables were re-stained with General Finishes Java Gel Stain. All surfaces were in pristine condition so I started by preparing them for the Gel Stain. As recommended by the manufacturer I cleaned all the surfaces with a 1/2 water 1/2 denatured alcohol solution with an extra fine sanding sponge. I applied 3 coats of the Java to achieve this rich colour. After these surfaces were good and dry (I usually wait at least...
The Painted Drawer_ refinished this classic yet stylish table. "I used General Finishes Dye Stain in Amber as a first coat. After the dye stain dried, I used General Finishes Gel Stain in Nutmeg over it. The result is really lovely. The amber dye stain peeks out from under the nutmeg and gives the wood dimension and a great play of color. After it cured for a few days, I used the GF gel topcoat, wipe-on urethane in satin. I love this product! It provides a fantastic durable finish and gives...

Gorgeous farmhouse table by GF's very own - and very talented - Tom Monahan! Tom custom built this beauty from rustic red and white oak that the elusive George had cut down and rough sawn, then he finished the piece with Outdoor Oil and Satin Wax. He dubbed it the "Lannister" (for all you Game of Thrones fans out there!) because the table is wicked awesome.

Can't get enough of this stunning refinished table by Studio Paint_ of Fonthill Ontario! I used General Finishes Gel Stain in the Antique Walnut colour!! The perfect brown ever!

I applied enough to make it look wet, let it dry and applied another coat! I really like the way it turned out!!

Stephanie at Rehab to Fab gave our Arm-R-Seal Topcoat a glowing review! (Shown over Java Gel Stain) "I love General Finishes Arm-R-Seal & it's all I use on my stained pieces. I used to dip my rag into the ARS & it was like playing Russian roulette. So I have been experimenting the last few months with pouring the ARS on the surface. I then take my clean folded t-shirt rag and move it around in long strokes until it looks completely covered. I walk away and let it do its thing. It...

RCDC Services created these imaginative wine and cheese cutting/serving boards with Bloodwood and Bird's Eye Maple. They used General Finishes Salad Bowl Finish to seal in all their beauty. In the first picture you can see the difference between 1 coat of Salad Bowl Finish and the unfinished board. RCDC Services says the trick was to dilute the first few coats with mineral spirits to help the Salad Bowl Finish soak into the wood and leave the final coats at full strength. The craftsmanship...
