The New
Wood Finishing Book
A
Wood-Finishing Classic, Updated and Expanded
By Michael Dresdner
A
Must-Have Reference for Finishing Wood Projects
With new, full-color photos and design,
expanded information, and updates on technological advances in
finishing, The New Wood Finishing Book is a must-have
reference.
If you finish wood, you'll want to own the
updated and completely revised version of the highly acclaimed
The Woodfinishing Book. Michael Dresdner, a nationally known
finishing expert with over 20 years of experience in the field,
focuses on finishes that amateur woodworkers and finishers use --
not fussy, unattainable finishes. He successfully demystifies the
art and science of finishing with clear and up-to-date information,
including coverage of spray finishing and the new generation of
water-based finishes.
Insightful Q&As provide answers to the most
common finishing questions, and amusing "finishing tales" show the
lighter side of finishing challenges. The original book is
considered the definitive resource on finishing. But this new
edition is even better.
