Three Types of Wood Finishes

Transparent Coatings- coatings that can be seen through.

Ex. Varnish, Shellac, lacquer , PU , Melamine

Penetrating Finishes- these soak into the wood rather than just coat it.

Ex. Linseed Oil, Danish Oil

Opaque Finishes- covers the surface completely, cannot be seen through.

Ex. Paint, enamel.
