Foolproof Wood Finishing

Teri Masaschi is not only a woodworking restorer and instructor but also a bit of a raconteur, so her book is entertaining as well as instructive. Foolproof Wood Finishing helps guide you to prepare your wood; determine the best finish; fix minor defects; avoid uneven results; and circumvent common wood coloring pitfalls. The book not only provides recipes for classic colors such as Deep Antique Cherry (and nineteen others), but some amusing anecdotes from Masaschi's "37 years of falling into every pitfall and learning how to back out of them" as a wood finisher. She covers the basics off finishing, including tools and materials, safety and planning, then takes you through making test samples and then completing your project. Finally, her tips on restoration and maintenance help you keep your project looking good. With a product source list and glossary. Full color photographs throughout the book. Softcover. 8 1/2" x 11".191 pages.
