Hand-Applied Finishes ReviewOur landlord left an old (1930s) Linden wood table in the basement. Linden wood is very soft and pale. The table had lost the veneer top well before we met it. Mr. Jewitt took us through the preparation stages, helped us decide what type of wood color to use (water-based dye), finishing method, and how to apply a hand-rubbed satin finish. Even if you don't know much about materials or methods, this book is easy to understand and walks you through the process. If you have some basic knowledge, it provides very interesting details on how various finishes cure and why they look different. I'd say that for beginners to intermediate wood-workers, this book is well worth the price. It deserves a front row on the workroom bookshelf.Hand-Applied Finishes Overview

New Wood Finishing Bk REV/E ReviewDresdner's original Wood Finishing Book was a great compilation of years of finishing experience and wisdom, and the New Wood Finishing Book has taken this knowledge to the next level! Mr. Dresdner's style and explanations are clear and concise leaving little doubt as to the appropriate methods and materials. His additions of vignettes from his years of finishing experience are wonderful, often hilarious examples of how to or more often how not to do something.
Anyone looking to apply a finish to wood must own this book!New Wood Finishing Bk REV/E Overview

Foolproof Wood Finishing: For Those Who Love to Build and Hate to Finish ReviewThis would be a very good choice for someone looking for a comprehensive introduction to how to prep, stain, and finish furniture. There is a real wealth of information and it is presented very clearly.
But for all the info on furniture finishing, I was disappointed by the coverage of other basic woodworking projects. For example, there's nothing about what finishes are safe for cutting boards, wooden bowls, or children's toys. And I would have welcomed something that talked specifically about finishes for shop furniture. There also is nothing on spray finishes, which is mildly frustrating given that the author mentions how much more convenient they are than the brush-on and wipe-on finishes she does cover.
I also found the author's style a little distracting. A bit heavy on the exclamation points and the quotation marks and the folksy stories. Not a big deal, really, but it detracted from my enjoyment in reading it somewhat.
It's an outstanding book for a slightly different reader than me. If I had it to do over, I'd get another one instead.Foolproof Wood Finishing: For Those Who Love to Build and Hate to Finish Overview

Flexner on Finishing: Finally - Answers to Your Wood Finishing Fears & Frustrations ReviewI am dissapointed in Flexner on Finishing. I have read Flexner's former books and articles and have seen most if not all of what's in the new book in former publications. This is dissapointing as I was really looking forward to new and informative finishing education.
Too bad but my advice is don't waste your money.Flexner on Finishing: Finally - Answers to Your Wood Finishing Fears & Frustrations Overview

Tauntons Complete Illustrated Guide To Finishing ReviewAt over 300 pages of superbly illustrated information, this book is the new bible on wood finishing. The words "Complete" and "Illustrated" in the title tell it all.
Just about everything you need to know about finishing from basics to advanced is covered. Every topic is illustrated with full-color photos and line drawings when needed.
Plenty of hints, off-page references and guidance.
Topics are covered in anywhere from a half-page with three photos to whole chapters. Jeff and his wife, Susan, the photographer, have gone out of their way to show every process and product talked about. Every chapter is organized the same way, which may be the way of Taunton's new, "Complete Illustrated Guide to..."
If you are only going to buy one book on finishing, or if you have a whole shelf full, you need to buy and read this book.
Great job, Jeff and Susan!

Great Wood Finishes ReviewThis is an excellent guide to producing high-end wood finishes. In particular, the section on dye staining, a method often used by pros and underutilized by amateurs is outstanding. This book ranks with Understanding Wood Finishes by Bob Flexner as the two premier treatises on the subject. Flexner focuses on the materials and Jewitt on the application. The example finishing schedules provided at the end of the book easily justify its price. Highly recommended.Great Wood Finishes Overview
