Nowadays, finishing wood doesn’t just embrace fine clear finishes like shellac and French polishing, but also bright pigmented lacquers, dyes and stains, milk paint, and “crackled” paint. Finishing Wood features a whole section on the hot new trend of coloring wood. Also included is timeless information on preparing a surface before you apply a finish (a critical first step), as well as tried-and-true methods for applying all the traditional finishes, whether by brush or by spraying. 220 pages, Softcover, Copyright 2017, ISBN: 978-1-63186-893-1.
