5.0 out of 5 stars
We can all learn new tricks,
By John Zappulla "johnnyzap" (Lincoln, Nebraska) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Finishes & Finishing Technique (Paperback)
The book is filled with secrets, tips, tricks and techniques of the all elusive perfect finish.Even after 35 years in cabinet making I found the chapters well researched and extremely informative. Did you ever find yourself saying, "Oh yeah... that's how that works!"? You'll say that a few times when reading this one.

Very Useful Book,
By Dave and Karen (Yucaipa, CA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Finishes & Finishing Technique (Paperback)
I found the book quite comprehensive, including information on how the "pros" do it. I was not interested in obtaining the finish found on most medium-quality furniture (lacquer applied with a hvlp spray gun). I wanted to learn about French polishing, finishing with shellac, dying vs. staining wood - generally, how to create fine hand-rubbed finishes. This book explains how. It also told you where to obtain hard-to-find materials.

Enough Books for the Weekend Refinisher!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Finishes & Finishing Technique (Paperback)
Aren't there enough finishing books written for the hobbyist? How about a book that shows the hobbyists how they can get professional looking finishes by using professional tools, techniques and materials? Books like this keep the hobbyist at hobbyist levels, never raising the stakes or the standards. The big fault is the publisher, Taunton Press because this publisher is not interested in focusing on the true craft of wood finishing.If other crafts were treated as immaturely as wood finishing, weekend woodworkers would build nothing more complicated than popsicle stick houses. Only the craft of wood finishing gets this bay treatment approach when it comes to publishing books.
