This indispensable guide to the finest finishing techniques
is now better than ever, with color photos, more illustrations
to show additional stains, and an expanded text. Both
newcomers and skilled woodworkers will discover a wealth
of enlightening material.
The large first section covers all the basics, leading
those who have never before applied a finish through the
entire process, from wood preparation right to the last
coat. Experienced finishers eager to broaden their creative
horizons will go straight to the advanced ideas.
Many of the traditional techniques covered include French
polishing, stains, varnishes, shellacs, oil finishes,
wood graining, and chemical staining and have been largely
forgotten during the past few years, but their effects
are hard to duplicate by any other means. The second part
covers more advanced applications like mixing your own
stains, gilding, stenciling, surface distressing, wood
graining and more.
Keep this in depth guide handy in your shop because you'll
refer to it often.
