An Encyclopedia of Finishing Techniques

This is truly a book that deserves a 5 star rating! The Woodfinishing Book covers every coating material you can imagine. With the in-depth details, you can learn so much. I really believe it's a must-have book for your workshop. The book does a great job of outlining all of the finish materials available, both old time favorites and the latest break-throughs. Personally, I've found descriptions of the old time methods the most interesting. The author does a great job describing "why things work" as well as "how to make things work." It's a comprehensive collection of wonderful information in a single source. Who would have thought someone could write over 200 pages on this subject?As a long time reader of Fine Woodworking magazine, I've learned that their published books are well-written and useful. The Woodfinishing Book is another great addition to their collection.
