Finishing Supplies by H. Behlen
It is no secret that when it comes to woodworking, we are real hard-core traditionalists. Well, when it comes to finishing, we are actually worse. Surprisingly, it is not because we are purists so much as because we have found the traditional methods to achieve the most satisfactory results, both for reproduction pieces and for modern works. For more about this
H. Behlen is the largest US manufacturer of finishing supplies specifically for woodworking. We have chosen from the vast range of wood finishing products manufactured by Behlen the products which we think are useful to the traditional woodworker. Besides a full range of shellacs, Behlen offers a vast range of other finishes. We do not offer any solvents here because of the problems associated with shipping them and the fact that you can easily buy them locally.

Behlens Pore-O-Pac Grain Fillers

Pore-O-Pac Grain Fillers
This product is used to fill the grain on walnut and mahogany before applying a shellac or varnish finish. This product should not be applied to bare wood. The wood should first be sealed with a coat of the same finish that will be use to finish the piece. Behlens suggests using a special spreading tool but we have achieved our best results using a rag and applying two or three light coats.
