Synopsis

With new, full-color photos and design, expanded information, and updates on technological advances in finishing, The New Wood Finishing Book is a must-have reference. If you finish wood, youll want to own the updated and completely revised version of the highly acclaimed The Woodfinishing Book. Michael Dresdner, a nationally known finishing expert with over 20 years of experience in the field, focuses on finishes that amateur woodworkers and finishers use -- not fussy, unattainable finishes. He successfully 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, and amusing "finishing tales" show the lighter side of finishing challenges. The original book is considered the definitive resource on finishing. But this new edition is even better.

About this title

Product Description:

This guide to wood finishing focuses on the finishes that amateur woodworkers use. It provides up-to-date information, including coverage of spray finishing and the new generation of water-based finishes, and answers to the most common finishing questions.

Review:

The final finishing of carpentry projects and cabinet making is critical to the success of any woodworking project. Done improperly, it can be the kiss of death for an otherwise well-made piece of furniture, a refinished wood floor, or a handmade wooden artwork.

Wood finishing is often a confusing and intimidating process, especially for beginners. With this revised classic by one of the noted experts in the field, that needn't be the case anymore. Dresdner offers easy-to-use techniques for professional results, concise answers to the most commonly asked questions, information on spray finishing and new waterborne finishes and demystifies the art and science of finishing. Chapters cover tools of the trade, stripping techniques, preparing and colouring wood, rubbed-on finishing methods, repairing damage to already finished wood and much more, along with a resource list for tools and materials, a glossary of finishing terms and a useful index for quick reference. --Mark A Hetts
