"THE" Veneering Book

This is the one veneering book that will teach you what you need to know about veneers and veneering. Patching, flattening, glueing and types of glues, veneers and types of veneers, and a ton of other information, and tips and tricks. It is a very easy read, and very enjoyable as Mike Burton has a good sense of humor, and enjoys what he does. I look forward to other Mike Burton books.

If you want to really learn--use this book

This is the finest book on veneering I have ever purchased (I have 3 others). Veneering is like many other skills in that it takes a certain amount of vocabulary and familiarity with techniques before it all starts to make sense. The way the author organizes the material makes it easy for the beginner to come to grips with the tools and techniques of veneering.Perhaps more important is the additude Burton takes to writing this book. You never know when he will sneak in something funny--at times very funny-- in the middle of an explanation or a shop story. He has a disarming sense of humor, and is frank about balancing art with practicality as a professional craftsman. This book is a pleasure to read. And that makes a real difference in learning the subject. Like someone else said, I will buy any future woodworking books Michael Burton writes.

The complex made understandable

What an informative, well-presented, clearly explained, must-have book! The practical details and concise, complete explanations take the mystery out of veneering. The five projects Mr. Burton walks the reader through answer questions I didn't realize I'd have until in the middle of a project. I thoroughly enjoyed his practical wit, the use of many low-tech (low-cost, too) techniques, and the in-depth way the pictures supplemented the text.I'll buy any woodworking book this man writes. He knows what he's talking about!

Veneering - A Foundation Course

I Have read a lot of how to books, but this book takes things to the next level, clearly defined and understandable text. Recommended for anyone wanting to know all there is to know about the subject.
