Hand-Applied Finishes by Jeff Jewitt
The heart of Hand-Applied Finishes is Jeff Jewitt's carefully researched, step-by-step discussion of traditional hand-applied finishes and the techniques for applying them. Included are shellac, applied French polishing, padding and brushing, oil finishes, varnishes, solvent lacquers, water-based finishes and milk paint.
Jewitt points out the importance of the finishing environment, and shows the correct use of stains, dyes, and wood fillers in a separate chapter on coloring wood.
On-site photos clarify virtually every detail. Hand-Applied Finishes is organized in the logical sequence for finishing, so readers get a realistic look at the process, which they can easily adapt to their own projects.
Jewitt stresses the practical side of hand finishing, and happily for most, has not burdened his very readable and useful book with unnecessary chemistry jargon and theory.
Hand-Applied Finishes is an essential book for all finishers, from the novice hobbyist to the experienced professionals. The Taunton Press also has two companion videos available: Hand-Applied Finishes: Coloring Wood ($19. 95) and Hand-Applied Finishes: Applying Topcoats ($19. 95).
Published/Edition: April 1997. ISBN/Book No.: 1561581542
