Product Description

Amazon.co.uk 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

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars All you need to know!, 26 Mar 2009
I was unsure whether to buy this book or not. I'm really glad I did. Whatever area of woodwork you are in this is an excellent book to learn how to best finish the end product. The book is really well laid out with excellent photos and diagrams, interspersed with the odd little story by the author. This will be a constant reference book for me. It covers every kind of preparation, applicator and finish you'd ever want to try or need. The chapters are easy 'jump in' sections that can be read as and when needed for reference. The section on staining, tinting and glazing is superb! Money well spent putting this book on your bookshelf!
