After the room/area is chosen next to be decided is between surface coatings or penetrating finishes. The decision is based on:
- durability required
- clarity desired
- drying time

- age of the piece
- decorating scheme
- cost and budget
There are 3 different types of surface coatings in varnish, shellac, and lacquer. Depending on the level required or desired above one would be chosen to complete the woodworking process.
