Open Retirement Letter & Notes from Ron Ashby,
    (sometimes referred to as the ‘finish geek’)

I have enjoyed last 42 years of instructing finish workshops and
supplying finishers with materials for finishing, restoration and refinishing.

It is now time to get back into my shop and return to woodworking.

Our Mohawk Finishing Product division will be moving
to the House of Color, an Authorized Mohawk Distributor.
20 S Linden Ave Suite #3A, South San Francisco, CA 94080
650-588-7412

The House of Color professional experienced staff has been
Serving the SF Bay Area for 5 decades. NEW at this location:
Mail Order and Bay Area Delivery,
custom color lacquer & paint mixing.

For Mohawk Finishing products or information,
ask for Michael or Charlie, 650-588-7412.
As of APRIL 13th
ORDER DIRECT From HOUSE OF COLOR

The Shellac.net – Merit Burn-In Stick division will be moving
to a new location sometime before the end June or July —
Details to follow in the next 2 weeks.

The last 42 years has been a genuine joy.
Regards to all,
Ron Ashby
