Abstract
Selected Aesthetic Properties of Traditional Finish Coatings Used in Furniture Making. Furniture surfaces were covered with finishing materials, most of all for decorative purposes (aesthetics), although other purposes were also important, such as the protection of wood against moisture (durability) and dirt, as well as providing a smooth surface (usage-related function). In order to achieve it, such substances as oils, waxes and French polish have been used for ages, and nowadays also lacquers. The article presents the analysis of colour, gloss and chosen roughness parameters of oak, elm, ash and pine samples, covered with traditional finish coatings used in furniture making. On the basis of tests and the analysis of their results, we can confirm that the use of lacquer, shellac and wax changes the aesthetic properties of wood. Keywords:
