About this Item

Rodale Press, Emmaus, PA. 1994. Hardcover. First Printing by Line Number. Book is tight, square, and unmarked. Book Condition: As New. No DJ as issued. Pictorial heavy plasticized boards and spine with blue and red lettering on the spine and front board. 310 pp 4to. Finishing wood is both easier and more difficult than you think because its requirements are not extensive- brushes, rages, and spray guns- and little hand-eye coordination. Finishing is difficult because there are so many variables, and things that can go wrong. And there is little good information out there about what to do when things go south. This book will provide that information. A clean pristine copy. Seller Inventory # 006013

About this title

Synopsis:

Introduces wood finishing tools, materials, and techniques, and covers oil finishes, stains, shellac, lacquer, varnish, and water-based finishes

Reviews:

Given the abundance of titles on wood finishing published in 1993, librarians might be inclined to dismiss this one, which would be a definite mistake. Flexner, who has 20 years of finishing experience and has written for many woodworking magazines, assumes no experience in finishing wood. He provides comprehensive treatment of the various finishes, application techniques, chemical cautions, and reactions, convincingly overthrowing much of the conventional wisdom about finishing. His book gives readers a wood finishing consultant available whenever they need it for the price of an hour's time. Highly recommended. (Index not seen.)-- Alex Hartmann, Bloomsburg Univ. Lib., Pa.
