Why EZstain Hand-Rubbed Furniture Finishes Are a Game-Changer for Handcrafted Shuffleboard Tables
At McClure Tables, we continuously seek ways to enhance our techniques and processes to create the finest handcrafted shuffleboard tables. This year has been significant for us as we’ve implemented several changes. Not only did we open our new showroom, but we also updated our finishing process and materials.
Ever run your hand across a piece of furniture and feel that silky, warm glow that only a hand-rubbed finish can deliver? That’s the magic of EZstain hand-rubbed furniture finishes—a secret weapon for transforming raw wood into a masterpiece. Whether refinishing and reviving an old antique rock-ola shuffleboard or crafting a custom McClure shuffleboard table, EZstain makes it easy to achieve that rich, timeless look without the hassle. Here’s why EZstain is our go-to for hand-rubbed wood finishes—and how it has elevated McClure Tables Handcrafted shuffleboard tables.
We now custom-mix our finish colors using the EZ Stain Blending System instead of relying on pre-mixed spray-on stains. This system allows us to blend all our colors on-site, saving time and money compared to ordering and waiting for pre-mixed options. Additionally, we apply the finish by hand rubbing it rather than spraying, resulting in a richer finish that showcases deeper colors and a vibrant, fine-furniture appearance—reflecting our commitment to handcrafted quality.
The Hand-Rubbed Feel You Can’t Fake
A hand-rubbed finish is something special—it feels smooth as butter under your fingertips, warm and alive. EZstain nails that tactile bliss. It’s not just a coating; it’s a process that buffs the wood to a soft luster with no machines required. Compare that to spray-on finishes that leave a plasticky film from factory-produced tables—EZstain lets the wood breathe and shine, giving your furniture soul you can’t mass-produce. Even the top coat we apply at McClure Tables is a cut above. We do not just slap on typical game room furniture lacquer. We use a harder, more durable polyurethane than the typical lacquer for game room furniture.
