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 alike 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 these
traditional techniques—including French polishing, wood graining, and chemical
staining—have been largely forgotten during the past few years, but their
effects are hard to duplicate by any other method. |
