Format:Paperback
Although this is also a competent text on general finishing, the real interest of this book is in its historical recipes for old processes and mixtures. If you're looking for the use of alkanet root or dragon's blood and you don't fancy wading through the old references yourself, this is the book to read. It's also a useful compendium of all the old standards in a single binding.
Best of all are the fine colour photographs showing the techniques applied to real timber samples. Rather than a description of the colour range available, here it is on the page in front of us.
Sadly out of print and almost unavailable, snap a copy up whenever you see one. Easier to find than Robert Dossie's period "Handmaid to the Arts" though!
