Established in 1975 in Acton, Massachusetts, Thomas J. Whalen Fine Wood Finishes has since been working with the finest Architects, Builders and Architectural Millwork firms in the country. The company uses traditional techniques and materials such as oil, varnish, water based transparent dyes, tinted waxes and traditional French polish in order to achieve the complexity of color that wood naturally achieves through time. It is the company's goal every time to take new woodwork and render the complex color and patina associated with period antique furniture.
