Furniture Finisher Cover Letter Template

Dear Hiring Manager, As a Furniture Finisher who recently redesigned the finish on a full dining set for a high-end client, I can bring this steady, hands-on approach to [Company Name]’s Furniture Finisher role. I’ve learned to read drawings and orders closely, then choose the right tools and sequence to keep finishes durable and true to the piece. I focus on prep, stripping old finishes where needed, applying varnish, lacquer or stains, and then polishing to a smooth, even surface. I’m comfortable setting up and running woodworking machines, and I pay attention to solvent handling and safety. My aim is to keep processes efficient while preserving natural timber grain and tone, so the pieces feel authentic to the room. One example I’m proud of from [Previous Company] involved refinishing a mid-century cabinet series. I stripped where necessary, repaired minor nicks, applied multiple coats of lacquer, then hand-polished each surface. The result was a consistent luster that significantly improved customer satisfaction and reduced returns for finish issues. I’m available for a chat any time to talk through how I’d approach the projects at [Company Name]. If you think I could be a good fit, I’ll bring my measured, calm approach to your team and discuss how I can contribute to your finish quality and timelines. Kind regards, [Your Name]
