Wood finishing refers to the process of refining or protecting a wooden surface, especially in the production of furniture. This book contains a detailed guide on wood-finishing, including information on the necessary tools, technique, and materials. The original aim in writing this book has been to put before teachers, students, and amateur workers, reliable information regarding the most common processes of wood-finishing. The information is presented a practical, non-technical manner, suitable for the average school shop. Complete with step-by-step instructions, handy tips, and a plethora of helpful images, this text is ideal for beginners and will also make a great reference book for more experienced woodworkers.
