Finishing

Choose a finish that suits your style and the wood's natural characteristics. Options include paint, stain, varnish, or sealant. Apply the finish according to the manufacturer's instructions, and allow adequate drying time between coats.

Maintenance

Regularly dust your furniture with a soft, dry cloth. For spills, gently wipe them up with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid exposing your furniture to direct sunlight or excessive moisture to prevent warping or discoloration.

Refinishing

Over time, you may want to refresh your furniture's finish. Start by lightly sanding the surface, then apply a new coat of paint, stain, or sealant. This process can help extend the life of your furniture and keep it looking beautiful.
