There are two basic types of wood finishes (some claim to do both):

• Film finishes—form a film or coating on the wood. Can cure harder and be built up in layers (e.g. varnish or lacquer)

• Penetrating finishes—penetrate the wood surface. Oil-based and do not cure to a hard film (e.g. tung oil).

Tints or colours can be included with both types of finishes to help protect the timber from UV and help prevent the timber naturally greying off.
