| Description: |
The best woodwork in the world can be let down by a sub-standard finish. This collection of articles from Fine Woodworking is the book to go for if you want to go further with your finishing techniques. A chapter on preparation covers sanding, grain filling, sealing and filling. Colouring wood by dying, staining, fuming and bleaching are outlined. There are several articles on hand finishing followed by four on spray finishing. 'Special' finishes such as aged, painted, food-safe are also included. Perhaps the best finish of all (for those who hate finishing) is the short discussion of the no-finish finish - just leave your work to acquire its time-created colourings and patina.
