Luther's Finishing Corner

Luther Judt is a woodworker but more than that he is a professional finisher. A major component of the woodworking project is the choice and application of the finish. Often finishing is considered an operation that anyone can do with no prior knowledge or practise. As his students and advocates can attest, Luther has much to teach in the preparation, application, and final processes associated with professional finishing. Luther is responsible for the finishing of most of the projects seen on "the Router Workshop"! Helpful hints from Luther's Finishing Corner is now available to you online!
