The
Wood Finisher's Handbook
by Sam Allen
Paperback: 160 pages ISBN: 1402730373
Publisher: Sterling (November 28, 2006) |
| For newcomers and skilled
woodworkers, this indispensable guide to the finest finishing techniques is now better
than ever, with color photos, more illustrations to show additional stains, and an
expanded text. The large first section covers all the basics, leading those who have never
before applied a finish through the entire process, from wood preparation right to the
last coat. Experienced finishers eager to broaden their creative horizons will go straight
to the advanced ideas. Many of these traditional techniques—including French
polishing, wood graining, and chemical staining—have been largely forgotten during
the past few years, but their effects are hard to duplicate by any other means. |

Veneering:
A Foundation Course
by Mike Burton
Paperback: 240 pages
Publisher: Sterling Revised Edition (June 28, 2006)
ISBN: 140272649X |
| Requiring no expensive machinery,
veneering offers woodworkers tremendous opportunities for creativity—and for using
woods that may be rare, expensive, or structurally weak in their solid form. With this
revised version of a classic guide—which includes a brand-new section on
marquetry—woodworkers can learn all the basics, from terminology to materials, tools
to techniques. There’s detailed instruction on substrates and bonding; preparing the
wood; cutting, coloring, and strengthening the veneer; and various methods of finishing
and polishing for long-lasting beauty. The exquisite projects range from boxes to a
blanket chest, from a kidney-shaped desk to a round dining table. |
