Refinishing

 On most pieces of furniture, people interact primarily with the finish.  It presents the wood to our sight and touch, inviting our fingers to trace along a carved edge and our eyes to drift over the surface of the wood.  This is the aesthetic or decorative aspect of a finish, where it functions to enhance the innate features of the wood.  The finish also functions as the first line of protection for the wood.  The finish shields the furniture from moisture, stains, dirt, and other environmental elements which can degrade its appearance and function.  A peeling, crackled, cloudy finish fails one or both of its functions.  Refinishing, in general, renews both aspects with a clear, well-knit, attractive surface.
