T32736 Understanding Wood Finishing Book
For more than 18 years, Bob Flexner has been inspiring woodworkers with his writings and teachings on wood finishing.
Nicknamed the “Bible” of wood finishing, T32736 Understanding Wood Finishing is a best-selling, easy-to-understand resource that teaches readers everything they need to know, from preparing and staining wood to different types of wood finishes, coloring techniques, filling pores, removing finishes, and more.
This newly updated edition features current information on solvents and other chemicals that abide by both state and national law.
"We use Understanding Wood Finishing as the textbook for our students training to go into the furniture industry," says David Miles, wood technology professor at Pittsburg State University. "It’s the best written, most accurate, and most thorough wood finishing book in print—by far."
With its clear writing and engaging style, this is “without a doubt the best researched, most authoritative, and easy-to-follow book on the subject,” notes Steve Shanesy, Popular Woodworking magazine editor.
As professional finishers know and as amateurs will surely realize, "finishing is easy once you know what you are doing," says Frank Klausz, a professional cabinetmaker. "Understanding Wood Finishing makes the science of finishing understandable."
