Does anyone know who actually makes J.E. Moser's finishing products? I
would be pressed to imagine that a cataolg sales company actually makes
it. I happen to like some of these products and was wondering if I'm
actually using some other branded name.

Thanks for your thoughts

J.E. Moser is a house brand name that I believe is owned by
Woodworkers Supply. There are a number of manufacturers supplying
product to them under that label. I don't know who manufactures what.

In article <409c2$54b7fc61$cf3aab60$30...@news.flashnewsgroups.com>,
If I remember correctly J.E. Moser products were originally only
available directly from J.E.Moser by mail order. This was a while ago,
and I have been known to have senior moments :-) Then Woodworkers Supply
started carrying them. I think this was pre internet. At that time it
was Woodworkers Supply of New Mexico. Later they opened other stores. I
think one was in North Carolina, and at least one other, but I don't
remember where.

I never heard of 'em until started getting the printed catalogs from
Woodworkers Supply. I believe they got the name/address via Fine
Woodworking/Taunton Press from my first subscription. That goes quite a
long ways back; indeed before the 'net as we now know it; I _think_ it
was not too long after the move from VA to TN which was '68.

Anyways, won't say there wasn't some other distribution prior to that,
but surely that's first (and only) place from which I've ever seen the
brand name.

I've done searches in the past trying to find the info as well just out
of curiosity and never found anything other than the tie to WW-Supply.

Their other physical location is Caspar, WY.

Typo...that was '78, not '68.

Red paint works wonders on cherry too. Makes it look like poplar with
red paint.

I know who... It was originally formed by a man named John Moser. I apprenticed under him in New Mexico,,,, great guy... He eventually sold the company and retired in Albuquerque, loved flying radio control airplanes. He took a position as my mentor in a small cabinet shop, Searcy's Woodworking and Cabinets, where we did high-end custom cabinets and remodeling..... I learned a lot from John, I haven't talked to him in years though.....

John Moser is his name. He started the brand himself and then later successfully sold the company and retired. He moved to Albuquerque NM. where he ended up taking a position as my mentor at Searcy's Woodworking and Cabinet shop where I learned everything I could about finishing. Great guy who knew a lot of chemistry and loved to fly radio controlled airplanes.
