January General Meeting - Autumn Peterson, Heritage Natural Finishes

Guild General Meeting - 7-9;

Social time 6:30

Autumn Peterson, owner of

Heritage Natural Finishes in Corvallis

Joe Wheaton, Guild member, and his wife recently used Autumn's Products on a timber framed pavilion.  This information speaks from his first hand experience:  Autumn’s products use a natural solvent made from the skins of oranges instead of petroleum-based products, such as mineral spirits. The result is a reduced environmental impact and a pleasant orange scent when using the product. 

Although the company specializes in exterior finishes, it also makes interior finishes, which could be used on furniture. One of these is called the “Earth Finish,”  which sounds like finishing a dirt floor.

Autumn is a Corvallis-based maker of fine oil base wood finishes. She will present a photo-heavy slideshow with great photos of the beautiful wood- work of her clients as well as discussion finishing techniques with plenty of time for Q&A.

Autumn is also serving on the board of directors for the Timber Framer's Guild and is active in community education of the craft of timber framing. She'll be presenting a bit more on the TF Guild as well along with some local upcoming timber framing projects on her historic farmstead at Bell- fountain Farm in South Corvallis. Here's a great short video on one of the Timber Framer's Guild projects you might be interested in checking out.

Join us on Tuesday, January 18th at 7:00pm for our monthly meeting presentation. This presentation promises to expand your knowledge of not only timber frame con- struction but also on exterior finishing using environmentally responsible products.

The Zoom Link will be available 24 hours before the meeting.
