Book, The New Wood Finishing Book, Dresdner
The New Wood Finishing Book - Dresdner, 1999

New Wood Finishing, DresdnerWith new, full-color photos and design, expanded information, and updates on
technological advances in finishing, The New Wood Finishing Book is a must-have reference.
If you finish wood, you will want to own the updated revised version of the highly acclaimed book. Michael Dresdner, a nationally known finishing expert with over 20 years of experience in the field, focuses on finishes that amateur woodworkers and finishers use - not fussy, unattainable finishes.
He successfully demystifies the art and science of finishing with clear and up-to-date information, including coverage of spray finishing and the new generation of water-based finishes.
Insightful Q&As provide answers to the most common finishing questions,
and amusing "finishing tales" show the lighter side of finishing challenges.
The original is considered a definitive resource on finishing. But the new edition is even better.
               Revised Edition July 1, 1999 - 192 pages --  Used good condition.
