Presented By: Tom Monahan
Our guest speaker for the January 15th meeting is Tom Monahan. Tom represents General Finishes, a company headquartered in East Troy, Wisconsin.
Tom has been with General Finishes since 1994. Before that he owned and operated a furniture restoration business for 10 years. He remains active in woodworking, helping his wife Sheryl with her sign business. He also makes cutting boards for his daughter and her husband’s cheese business.
He’s now working part time towards retirement but is actively involved in technical support and product training and videos.
General Finishes makes a wide variety of finish related products. They make water based and oil-based finishes. This is just a start. They also make stains, paints, wax sealers and other products. Many of their products are available at Woodcraft Stores.
Tom will cover their products and answer any questions you may have. You can learn more about General Finishes by visiting their website at: www.generalfinishes.com . There is much information on the website including videos. This should be an informative event.
