We\u2019ve heard it straight from our Amish craftsmen–finish either makes a product or breaks a product.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When it comes to the finish on your solid wood furniture<\/a>, nothing\u2019s more important than a quality finish that\u2019s applied correctly. The standard finish for our Amish furniture is a catalyzed conversion varnish applied over the finish color. We use it because simply put…..it’s the best.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What Is Catalyzed Conversion Varnish? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The varnish that\u2019s applied over the finish color is there to help protect your wood furniture. Catalyzed conversion varnish basically consists of two parts, the finish<\/g> liquid and a hardener (called the catalyst)\u00a0that gets mixed in right before it\u2019s applied. It\u2019s fast drying and is considered the golden standard for varnish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
