Anyone who finishes wood will want to own the updated and completely revised version of the highly acclaimed The Wood finishing Book. With new, full-color photos and design, expanded information, and updates on technological advances in finishing, it's a must-have reference.
The focus is on finishes that amateur woodworkers and finishers use--not fussy, unattainable finishes.
The author demystifies the art and science of finishing with clear and up-to-date information, including coverage of spray finishing and the new generation of water-based finishes. Insightful Q&As provide answers to the most common finishing questions. Amusing " Finishing Tales" show the lighter side of finishing challenges. The original book is considered the definitive resource on finishing. And this new edition is even better.
