Beginners Woodworking Series

Understanding Wood Finishing: How to Select and Apply the Right Finish by Bob Flexner

The project isn't finished until the finish is on and this is a great book to get you into the habit of doing that part of the job right. Bob Flexner systematically explains the logic and science behind different types of finish and their application, including oils, shellac, lacquer, conversion, waterbase, waxes, poly, etc. Everything in this book is in-depth, yet simple enough for the layman to understand. It is a reference book that deserves a spot in anyone's shop. A few readers comments:

"This book is one of the best woodworking books I have ever read on any topic."

" This book just tells it like it is. Need not look any further for a better book on this art. It covers everything and actually keeps you from wasting money on those "Mystery" finishes by telling you how to make your own. pLenty of great truths in this one."

" I used to hate the finishing step of my woodworking projects, but I'm starting to enjoy it...now that I understand the process."
