The woodworking talents of Nick Cook are demonstrated in the Six Finishes for Woodturners article. Here Nick goes through the criteria of choosing the right finish for the right project with the following in mind. Type of wood, size, intended use, durability, drying time considerations, desired sheen, ease of application, solvent or water based, cleanup, repairability, food safe issues and finish, are all considerations in what Nick calls, “Having Sanding Savvy” to combat any surprises you may encounter.
This anniversary issue goes through the Best Woodcraft Tools of 2012 and the magazine’s Timeline of Success starting from the beginning to where we are today.
Other articles covering Resawing Basics, Plywood Cutting Guides, The Well-Stocked Shop inclusive of Masks and Respirators are included.
