Synopsis

Packed with advice for good woodworking and upholstery practice, this book takes the reader from straightforward jobs such as repairing the stitching of a chair seat or replacing a drawer handle to the more complex techniques involved in staining and matching wood, stripping down, dismantling and reassembling a table or cupboard, preserving fine marquetry, re-upholstering a button-back chair or chaise-longue and even french polishing. All techniques are explained by means of colour photographs of pieces of furniture that have been restored to fine condition.
