Wood finishing refers to the process of refining or protecting a wooden surface, especially in the production of furniture. This book contains instruction in fretwork, wood, carving, inlaying, mitering, and other wood processes, and is designed primarily with the amateur in mind. A comprehensive guide complete with detailed illustrations and step-by-step instructions, this book is perfect for those with little or no experience and constitutes a valuable addition to collections of woodworking literature. The chapters of this book include: 'Introduction', 'Wood and its Uses', 'Tools', 'Fretwork', 'Wood Carving', 'Inlaying', 'Mitre Picture Frames', and 'Useful Receipts' and 'General Information'. Many antique books such as this are increasingly costly and rare, and it is with this in mind that are proud to republish this text here complete with introductions on wood finishing and decorative woodwork.
