This early manual is a fascinating read for any carpentry
enthusiast or historian, but contains much information that is
still useful and practical today. Extensively illustrated with over
two hundred photograph illustrations and line drawings, this
comprehensive work is thoroughly recommended for inclusion on the
bookshelf of all woodworkers and craftsmen. Contents Include: Brush
Finishing, Spray Finishing, Preparing the Surface, Stains and
Staining, Fillers and Sealers, Varnish, Applying the Perfect
Varnish Coat, Lacquer and Synthetic, Finishing with Lacquer, Waxes
and the Wax Finish, Rubbing and Polishing, The Treatment of Various
Woods, Bleaching, Shading, Furniture Finishes, Novelty Finishes,
Decorations, The Silk Screen Process, Patching Methods, Finishing
Wood by Tumbling, Lacquer Buffing, Treatment of Turnings, Metal
Finishing, Walls and Woodwork, Finishing Schedules, and Finishing
Terms and Materials. Many of the earliest books, particularly those
dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and
increasingly expensive. We are republishing these classic works in
affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text
and artwork.
