Three Types of Wood Finishes Transparent Coatings- coatings that can be seen through. Ex. Shellac, varnish, lacquer Transparent Coatings- coatings that can be seen through. Ex. Shellac, varnish, lacquer Penetrating Finishes- these soak into the wood rather than just coat it. Ex. Linseed Oil, Danish Oil Penetrating Finishes- these soak into the wood rather than just coat it. Ex. Linseed Oil, Danish Oil Opaque Finishes- covers the surface completely, cannot be seen through. Ex. Paint, enamel Opaque Finishes- covers the surface completely, cannot be seen through. Ex. Paint, enamel

Transparent Coatings Varnish- a preparation consisting of various resins, dissolved in an oil or in alcohol. When applied to the surface of wood, it dries and leaves a hard, glossy transparent coating. Varnish- a preparation consisting of various resins, dissolved in an oil or in alcohol.
